I
love history. I read history-themed magazines, historical-fiction novels,
biographies and anything else I can that expands my knowledge. I am constantly
taking (dragging?) my family to historic sites. This includes my husband and
three daughters. Two of my daughters are in college and the third is in high
school. My family is SUPER involved in soccer and I am a huge New York Mets
fan. I hope 6th grade proves to be a successful year of growth for all of
our students.

Did you know that the Nile River is the longest river in the world and flows north?
Did you know that Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi was buried in a tomb along with 6,000 lifesize clay soldiers?
Did you know that in the Middle Ages, armies would use catapults to launch the chopped off heads of their enemies over the walls of castles?
Did you know that Leonardo Da Vinci invented a helicopter 500 years before the first modern helicopter was built?
You will by the end of the school year!
