Period 3 - Slide Show

Seasons In Iowa we have 4 seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Spring- During Spring, there is usually a lot of rain. The temperature isn’t to hot and it isn’t to cold. Summer- During the Summer, it can get really hot. There’s usually not a lot of rain. Fall- During the Fall, the leaves are falling of the trees so we have to do a lot of raking. The temperature is getting colder. Winter- In the Winter, we do a lot of shoveling because it snows a lot. It gets really cold during the Winter.

What Music people listen to NOW A lot of teens in America listen to Hip Hop, Rap, and Hard Rock (Extremely loud music). But, a lot of adults still listen to music from 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Maybe you have heard of the music group “The Beatles” they were a really famous music group in the 60’s and 70’s. It kind of depends on what age you are to decide what you listen to. In the US we have awards for the best songs of the year. The event is called the Grammy’s.

Favorite Websites 





YouTube - I love to go to YouTube because that is where you get to watch music video’s and other video’s that people make. Also you have your own channel which allows you to make video’s. YouTube Myspace – On Myspace you can make your own channel and put pictures and post blogs and comments on other peoples channel’s. Myspace is a lot like Facebook, which is another website that has all the same things. MYSPACE Meebo/AIM – Meebo is a website where you can talk with your friends if you log onto your AIM account.

American Holidays 

The holidays that we celebrate in America may be similar or very different compared to what you celebrate in Australia. To start off, during the winter, the 25th of December, we celebrate Christmas. Christmas is celebrated because that day is the birth of Jesus. We also celebrate the Fourth of July. Of coarse, like it sounds, its on the 4th of July. We celebrate that because of our independence. (that means on our own) That holiday is in the summer. Another one that we celebrate is Thanksgiving Day. That is on the 4th Thursday of November, the day we give thanks to people. That holiday is towards the end of fall. The last holiday I am going to tell you about is New Years. During this time, we celebrate the beginning of a brand new year. This celebration begins on the last day of the year called New Years Eve, December 31st and ends on January 1st. I hope you enjoyed this slide and I hope you learned that our holidays can be very different.
