    TODAY I WENT ON GOOGLE EARTH AND FOUND SRI LANKA, LOOKING AT PHOTOGRAPHS I SAW HOW THEY MIXED OLD MARACULOUSE STATUES, AITH MODERN BUILINGS IN THE JUNGLE TREES. I SAWGREAT MOUNTAINS THAT WERE FALLING APART, ALONG WITH VILLAGERS HIGH IN THE MOUNTAINS.

    Today I went on google earth and was amazed at what I saw. There was so many thing I wanted to see,but I limited my self to 3. I bet you could guess where I went first. MY HOUSE!! At first I started to laugh when I saw when the latest picture was taken, it looked so weird seeing my grandparents car in the drive way. The second place I went to was Mexico City. I showed my Mom and Dad what you had told us in class about the mountains trapping the pollution. They were impressed. Finally I had my last one I thought and thought and then decieded to go The Mausoleum, It was my project so I thought it would be cool to see what it looked like from a birds eye view. Now I'm hooked on Google Earth and can't wait to do more with my free time.

    Sincerely, Grace Richmond, Aldridge

    I went onto google earth and saw some amazing things. First I traveled to my landmark,Petra, and was amazed. Everything was dry. Then I flew into the amazon rain forest and everything became green and there were many trees. After that I explored the Titanic in the ocean. And finally, I flew to Boston, Massachusetts and saw my house where i used to live! It was really interesting reconizing and seeing everything you saw and knew! -Anna Gilliatt- :D (earth rocks!)

    On google earth I went to many places like tokyo Japan and saw many signs that were above small stands.Then i went to Mexico City and explored some of the churches that had amazing statues and mosaics. When i was done with that i felt like going on a spaceship to mars.when i got there i saw alot of dirt and rocks. To be honest i liked tokyo because it had amazing sights and technology. Thanks Mrs Sparks!

    After we went on Google Earth at school I just coudn't wait to get on it once I got home!I first traveled to my house and I noticed the car of the person who lived there before I did parked in the drive way.Next I roamed to Rio De Janrio, Brazil where I found the monument of Christ The Reedemer. I read all of the info about and was surprised when I already knew all of the facts stated. I'm looking forward to the next time that I go on Google Earth.

    i went to Italia (Italy)and i thought i knew all about Rome medival and things but the cooluseum isnt just flat sand like in the movie Gladiator but it is actually like a maze and if a flat sufaces isnt enough you make a wrong turn u get decapitated or down right killed and if THAT isnt worse enough one turn and you get mauled by a tiger or lion or something also they flooded the colluseum to do ship battles this is blake

    when i went on google earth i had a blast. i went to a ton of world famous landmarks like the eiffel tower, the statue of liberty, easter island, christ the redeemer, and of course the Alamo. I went to purdue where my brother goes i saw the football stadium and basketball arena. then i went to princeton and saw where my sister lives. then i went to my old home in El Paso and it sure has changed a ton. then my sister came in and we went to the new cowboys stadium but it was under construction. one of the last things i did was went to my house and my dad was driving to work. the very last thing i did was fly a plane and it is so hard every time a tapped the keys the plane would fly around all crazy i didnt know what to do. that was my experience on google earth Thank you Mrs. Sparks for showing us google earth.

    Hey Mrs. Sparks,
    I went to google earth and could not believe what I saw. My search started at my house then I sailed over to the Sydney opera house. While I was there I looked at some photos of the place and it is very pretty. Next I went back to the U.S and checked out the White house. I couldn't resist not going to Mars so I took my spaceship over there. To finish my journey off I looked where the most well known ship is, the Titanic. I had a lot of fun seeing the world from a difference point of view. Have a great holiday!
    Sincerely,
    Mo Hrinkevich :)

    Hi Mrs.Sparks! Thank you so much for showing us google earth! Some things I did were, explore the Luna Park Sydney Ferris Wheel, visit my cousins house, and look at the Eiffel Tower and I went up into it, right now I am playing maze in the Grand Canyon. Now I am in Rio, Brazil looking at Christ the Redeemer. I have also discovered some type of wreck, It is called Deepwater Horizon. I don't know what type of wreck it is though.
    Now i have my brother addicted! Thx so much!

A Day Without Shoes - April 5 and 6

Children in developing countries often grow up barefoot. Many are not allowed to attend school without shoes and they are often injured or exposed to harmful minerals, which can lead to serious medical conditions. On April 5th and 6th you will have the opportunity to go barefoot during social studies class to help raise awareness of what children in developing countries face everyday. While it might sound like fun to go without shoes during class, think about what it would be like if you had to go barefoot for miles while you walk to school, get clean water or find medical help. Click here for more information:  A Day Without Shoes .  Go to Events, Find an Event, Barefoot Learning at Eubanks, if you would like to sign up.
