Saturday Shout Out 6/9

I hope everyone has had a good week. I am just trying to finish up school. I just have a little bit of Chinese to finish for school but Mom is making me do math work sheets until school actually ends next week. It isn't too hard. I have spent most of my time swimming. It is hard to blog from the pool though.

This week I took a look at Naugatuck CT. It is a town and a borough. I haven't seen that before. I am not sure how that works.

 

 It is a small town with around 30,000 people but it has a lot great things on its website http://www.naugatuck-ct.gov . It looks like a nice town to live in and its Howard Whitmore library is so cool looking. Looking at the links, I found the historical society and read about a neat project where the high school kids helped to research the historical artifacts and documents the city museum has. http://naugatuckhistory.com/documents/2011/2011-02-05_Civil-War-Article-1.pdf I would love to help with a project like that. That is so cool!

I am going to make a whole post for my international city tomorrow. This week's city is coolest city I have seen yet. Split, Croatia.

Big Shout Outs To all the neat people that clicked into my blog this week. I had so much fun learning about the places where you live. I also learned about four new countries this week. (Whoever you are in The Dalles, OR and Fort Worth TX, please leave a comment so I can say hi to you. I love that I see your towns almost every day.)

Saturday Shout Out 6/2

Hello to Everyone. I hope you have had a good week. This week I have been celebrating my first year blogaversary with some of my favorite memories from my blog. I have had so much fun remembering things. I have also been trying to finish up school. That isn't as much fun and learning Chinese is a lot harder than I thought it would be, but I am almost done.

I was quite excited to see which cities were clicking in this week. Again there were a bunch repeats. I hope that means that someone is looking at my blog throughout the the week. I would be just as happy if lots of people from the same town were clicking in. I like to look at the map. It is cool see how in some states the towns that I have seen on my list are really close together.

I had never seen a city in Oklahoma on the list before so I checked out Oklahoma City http://www.okc.gov/. It seems like a really nice place to live and I have family that lives there. I wonder if they know about my blog? I was really excited to see that a new library, the Patience S. Latting NW library, is opening there. Just in time for the summer. The library is my non pool favorite place to be during the summer.

I added a ton of new countries to master map this week. I have seen more than 70 countries now. It was hard to choose just one to learn about so I picked one I haven't heard of before. Actually I had heard of it before but I thought it was part of Czechoslovakia. The Slovakia website is kind of plain http://www.slovakia.org/,  but it has a ton of great information about The Slovak Republic and its history. I really enjoyed learning about it.

Big Shout Outs go out to everyone who clicked in this week, but especially to my teacher, Mrs. Vazquez who has my blog saved to her favorites! Thanks so much for spending time with me.

Saturday Shout Out 5/26

Hello Everyone,

I hope you have had a good week. It been good here. I finally got to switch my blog back to the Summer of Fun. Mom and her friends have finding online links, for all the things I want to do this summer, for weeks. We finally have the full activity list up Summer 2012 "I know what we're going to do today!". I can't wait to try some of the projects.

Usually I try to talk about the first cities to click into my blog here. This week something really awesome happened. I always get cities that click in every week but this week I had cities that showed up more than once. I am really happy to get more viewers. I thought I would look at those cities this week especially since they are all over the US.

The Dalles, OR, clicked in the most. Almost everyday.  I would be interested just for the city's name. According to their website, it is located on the Columbia River and it used to be known as the town at the end of the Oregon Trail. That is a great thing to have in your history. It used to be Dalles City. I didn't see how it came to be called The Dalles.

Loves Park, IL http://www.loves-park.il.us/index.html also clicked in almost every day. It also has a very cool name. It was named after Malcom Love and it really started out as a park, Love's Park. Their website history page has the best old town photos

Fort Worth TX  showed up quite few times last week and it has a great website. http://fortworthtexas.gov/  I really liked reading in the city news section about the Fort Worth Cats, minor league baseball team. They sound really cool.

The final repeat city was Daphne AL.  Another really neat name. I think Daphne's website http://www.daphneal.com/  was the best. It really looked a place I would like to visit or even live.

Shout Out to all these great cities in Europe and  North America!

 

Bon Jour French Speakers!

I had some more fun with photo and video editing. 

I think I am getting better but I still have a long way to go.

I used Google Earth to find the cities and http://imtranslator.net to get the French translation. All mistakes are mine.
