Connections Section - Social Studies

~Evidently, there was quite a bit of interest in what happened to the driver of the car that was carrying the Archduke and his wife Sophie during the assassination.   His name was Leopold Lojka.  He saw Gavrilo Princip coming towards the car with a pistol in his hand.  He attempted to hit the gas,a nd his foot skidded off the pedal and the car slowed down.  The rest is history.  He shot the Archduke in the neck, Sophie in the chest, and ran off.  Leopold was not harmed.  After the Archduke was pronounced dead, Leopold was sent back to tell the Emperor, that his heir was dead.  He was then sent to tell Archduke Franz Ferdinand's children they they were orphans.  From there, he was sent to tell the Emperor of the German Empire of the Archduke's death.  He retired shortly after this and ran an inn (hotel) in the part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which is now the Czech Republic.

Meeting Jill Berry

5K Club

~Can you run at least two miles?  If so, come join us in the 5K Competitive Running Club next nine weeks!  If you cannot run 2 miles without stopping, then this club is probably not for you.  But if you can.... we plan on running the Seabreeze 5K, San Pablo 5K, and the Ortega River Run (5 miles) in February.  Stay tuned for registration in November.......

Jill Royster Berry - Cancer Survivor

~Big thanks to Jill Berry!  Mrs. Berry donated North Carolina Breast Cancer Awareness T shirts and some other doodads to all the APES to wear during our Walkathon on Friday! Jill was Mr. Gibbons next door neighbor growing up in the Boston area back int the 1960's and 1970's.  Every APE knows who Jill is... they know her complete story from adoption to child abuse, to fighting in the Gulf War to mothering two amazing and gifted children!!  Breast cancer is just one of  the obstacles Jill has overcome in her life.  I am so proud of the woman she has become, and even more proud to call her my friend.  You think Mr. Gibbons is a big Patriots fan?...Mrs. Berry is even more crazy when it come to the Patriots and Red Sox!  Her Boston accent is still there!

Maniac Magee

~We finished the first novel, Maniac Magee, as part of our literature circle and author study of Jerry Spinelli!  Most of us agreed this was an awesome novel with plenty of figurative language.  It really reinforced many of the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights., and helped us make connections to Esperanza in Esperanza Rising.
