First, it started to rain. Then, we got soaked,as we ran into the building. Afterwards, the thunder and lightning lasted for hours.

The British have moved in!! We are here in Yorktown, Virginia. With troop leaders George Washington and Lord Charles Cornwallis. About 381 solders killed, 500 wounded, and 8007 solders captured. This was the last major land battle. The French and Americans got surrounded, and the first move was made by Cornwallis. The Americans and French stormed two of the Redcoats, forcing them back even further. By that time it was obvious the British could not hold out much longer. Finally with no sign of releif as promised by Clinton, Cornwallis army surrenderd. The battle took place through September 28, to October 16, 1781. This Battle ended the American Revolution.

I was so excited about 2017 because i got to go to Disney World, and I am going to finish 5th grade and go into 6th grade. Hopefully this summer will not be as hot as last year, and it will snow. This year I will be 11 years old. The bad thing about 2017 is I have to take the STAR test. This year I get to play vollyball, and play in games.  

On December 7, 1941 at about 8:00 a.m. on the naval base at Pearl  Harbor, in Hawaii. The Japanese attacked America which brought us into World War II. This was a big surprise even though they picked it up on the radar. They were expecting some supplies such as guns and bullets, and that is what they thought it was. They did not have that good of  technology back then. Of course the men on duty were still sleeping on their ships when they attacked. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, ” A day that will live in infamy.”

• 188 air craft destroyed
