Post from Dangelo Cates!

Here is what Dangelo has to say about what he is learning in fifth grade!

I learned an type of friction is air. Friction stops the thing that is in the air.  When you throw a football in the air, Friction will stop it from going very far like when the quarterback throws the ball friction slows it down. I learned this by watching a video about football and force motion and friction.  I also learned about the boston massacre. It was horrible, the king was very mean and he put taxes on tea. I was mad that he did that and the colonists didn’t like it either. The king made the colonists more mad because the taxes were so high, the colonists began to cheat on their and smuggle tea from Holland. Then the British wanted the colonists to pay their tea so they lowered the price for tea. The colonists thought it was a trick they told the government to get the ship out of the harbor.  The government said no, so the colonists threw the tea off of the ship They were dressed as native americans. I am looking forward to learn about the second meet of the continental congress.
