MY SMITHSONIAN RESEARCH


The elephants in Asia are very much so endangered. They are also in the wild. Over 30,000Asian elephants live in Southeast Asia. The elephants are endangered in the north portion as well. In 2001 a baby elephant was born. The zoo named her Kandula. She was the result of artificial insemination. The experience was obviously a success. In 2008 around March, April, and May. The zoo began the contruction to create an elephant trail. They wanted to make a new home for the elephants. The first step will be complete within the year of 2008. At this rate there will be a year for each phase. The building will even have an excerise track so that the elephants have a place to excersize.

2000

In 2000 I was in the second grade. I could not stand Ms. Halliburton she drove me crazy. She called my mother everyday and complained all the time about little things that I did that weren’t even that bad. But she just wanted something to say. She wanted a reason to call my grandfather. I think she kind of liked him but that’s beside the point. She would call them everyday on schedule for the past couple of months I was in her class. Learning in her class was easy but difficult at the same time. It is hard when you have a teacher that was always down your throat.


2001

In 2001 I was in the third grade. This was around the time my home room class was Ms. Halliburton. Ms. Halliburton was the meanest teacher ever but we got along fine then. She brought me lunch and gave me everything I needed. I felt safe around her and she makes it as though she was an extended grandmother. She was about 80 years old and still teaching the youth. I was hurt when she passed away because I had become attached to her and the love she has for me in her heart. I wish I was old enough to go to her funeral.

2003

In 2003 I was in the 4th grade. Ms. Johnsons class I was scarred for life. I went to school late and when I did we had a journal writing. When I did the journal writing I was writing too long and during that time the teacher called students up to read and I was listening but I was still writing my journal. When I stood to read the teacher began talking loud and told all the students to read and play and ball up paper and write and ignore everything I was saying. It was a traumatizing situation for me.

2004

IN 2004 I was in the 5th grade. I was in Ms. Cages class. She was the coolest teacher ever. She made class fun and she gave us many activities every day. My best friend name was Laquanda and she was a cool girl. She was a girl that didn’t care about what other people thought and that’s what I liked the most. The incredible was a movie that I admired the most this year because it was about super heroes and it was related to reality and it was very very animated. The sound effects were cool and stern. AWESOME.

2005

In 2005 I was in the sixth grade. This is when the Tsunami had taken place. All I can really remember were people giving donations. The Tsunami was a heartbreaking experience for everyone because of the fact that it was the beginning of destruction. After that took place many other things began to happen. The government just began to crumble and become nothing but a place filled with war and an idiot as president. So many people were killed and so many people in America gave because it was a heartfelt movement. Everyone cared and it showed with the donations.

2006

In 2006 I was in the seventh grade. The thing that I remember most is when I went to Disney world. Disney world is the coolest place in the world I enjoyed my time there because of the fact that everything was pretty much laid out and relaxed. There was very little walking I got to sleep in late and go swimming and play cards and so much more. The pool was the best part of the whole trip. After a long day of riding rides we got a chance to get in the pool and swim and splash.
