The Wolf Girls!!!

Were there really wolf girls?  Were two girls ages 2 and 8 really raised by wolves?  This is a true story, sort of.  The two girls were brought to an orphanage in India in 1920.  They could not speak.  They ran around on all fours and ate raw meat.  Joseph Singh, the person who brought the girls to the orphanage, said he found the girls in a wolf den.  We have only Mr. Singh's journal as evidence that the girls were found in a wolf den.  Some people who saw the girls said they acted like animals, but that's not really proof that the girls were raised by wolves.  Did Mr. Singh make it all up?  Were the girls really raised by wolves?  Did they not speak because they had a mental or physical problem?  Or were they just abandoned by their family and raised by a kind man?  Those are the four most popular theories given.  Are any of them right?  Nobody knows for sure.  It is a mystery still waiting to be solved. Which theory do you like best or do you have your own theory of what happened to the wolf girls of Midnapore, India?  Please share your theory with us in three to four well written sentences.  Be sure to tell us why you believe in that theory.  

Pet Peeves

We all have "pet peeves" or things that really bug and annoy us.  A pet peeve is when someone, something, or an action is done that really irritates you.  Pet Peeves can be different for everybody.  My major pet peeve is when people constantly interrupt me or blurt out while I am talking.  That bothers me because first it is rude and second it interrupts my train of thought.  So get on your soapbox and tell us your pet peeve and why it annoys you.  Write about four to five complete sentences using the correct capitalization and punctuation.  

Native American

We had a great time today "viewing to learn!" We also had fun using the online databases and books to begin learning about Native Americans.  Think and reflect about all your new learning and what you found most interesting. Please tell at least four new things you have learned about Native Americans in complete sentences.  If you need or want to look at more videos, don't forget there is a hot link on the left and the video below!  Have fun learning!!!  We will soon be choosing our Texas Indian tribe!

High School Friends!!!

We have had a great week of new learning with our high school buddies!  Tell us three new interesting facts that you learned this week about Native Americans.  Tell us about the project your group is doing to show what you know.  How did your high school friend teach you new information this week? Write 4 to 5 well written and thought out sentences using the correct capital letters and periods about your new learning and project!
