-In 2004, my sister was born. When she came my toys were her toys. This affected me because I had to learn how to share.
-In the summer of 2008, my family and I went to the park. When I went by the monkey bars and I went up the stairs t the monkey bars I got bored and decided not to go on them. So the cool, fun way to get down back in the day was to slide of the tall stand. I fell and going down a shattered my elbow. I learned that sometimes the cool way/ fun way is not the right way.
-In the Christmas of 2009, my dog was given to me and my sister by my grandparents. He came in a big brown box. My family had gone and looked at dogs about a month earlier. But it was still a surprise. Taking care of a dog taught me responsibility
My life through all the lenses
HISTORY- Getting knowledge about important events and individual developments over time: investigations about the past and its legacy. I was born August 25 2001. I was born a healthy baby lbs Oz. I was the first baby born out of all my parent's friends. So lets just say I was spoiled a bit ;). They would take me on vacations, buy me a ton of stuff and give me a lot a attention. Then on May 25th my sister Madalyn was born, my family thought that it was kind of cool that we were both born on the 25th of the month. Even though I am not spoiled as much as I was I am glad that I have her around. This effected my because, with out my sister I would not have had someone there with me to keep me company I may have become more independent.
Questions I asked my parents: Where are my relatives from- My great great great grandfather Adolf Engler was born 1836 in Germany. He was married to Rosina. They had 5 children. Sadly in 1905 in Kansas city, Kansas Engler died. Where my relatives poor or rich or right in the middle- My relatives, Adolf Engler were in the working class they were not rich but they were not poor. What year did they come to the us- Adolf Engler came from Germany in 1857, he came here with courage and bravery, he had to sail across the ocean to be able to just come to the land of opportunities. Why did my relatives come to America- They came because they wanted to get more money and to get a better job. Adolf Engler did get a good job which paid well enough to support his family. Which was big! Including him 7 people to support. Did my relatives come in through Ellis or Angel island? Adolf Engler had traveled through Maine not Angel or Ellis island. This is related to the geography lens because he had traveled to another place. Angler came in through Maine. He then went straight down to Kansas and meet Rosina (his lover). This impacted me because if he did not come to Kansas he would have not met Rosina which means that I would not have been born. |
