Our chicks

Two weeks ago, we got baby chicks from our Uncle Jimmy Joe who raises chickens in Caroline County. They are so, so cute. They are getting their feathers in. The smallest one is called Chris. Chris, compared to the others, has barely grown at all. She is almost as small as what she was when we first got her. At that time, her leg was limp and almost broken. But now she is better.

There are six baby chicks in all. They are starting to look like little baby ducks.

Our timeline

Today we are doing a timeline. It is very interesting. We are starting from 3000 B.C to 1000 B.C., which is time of the Fertile Crescent to the Mycenaeans. I like the Egyptians the best because they built the Great Pyramids. I also like the Phonecians. They made purple dye from snails called murex. You had to boil it for about 10 days and it smelled awful. But it made the most beautiful dye and it was very expensive so only rich people and kings could afford it. That is why purple is considered a royal color. We have to finish our ancient history timeline and then we will start a timeline on the Greeks and Romans.
