Have More Heart - by Evan

I found some links for the blog about the heart.

First, go to this web address and you should be in the video section. Then go to the search bar that is next to Top Stories and type in heart. Now you should find a video that says Rebuilding A Baby’s Heart and that’s the video.

Next, perform open heart surgery at this site!

Finally, take this heart quiz. It covers everything we've learned so far in class!

Speaking of Martin Luther King Jr., he won the Nobel Prize in 1964. The prize is given on December 10th, which is Alfred Nobel’s death anniversary. The prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway (Oslo is Norway’s capitol). The ceremony is held in the Oslo City Hall. Albert Arnold Gore Jr. was the 2007 winner. The first prize was awarded in 1901 to Jean Henri Dunant and Frédéric Passy.

Nothing but a Hounddog - by Evan

I think this is a cool song. My brother used to always sing it, so now it sometimes gets stuck in my head. I used to hear it a lot in Kids Club also. Here is the website for the video. I also found some pictures and info of Elvis and Graceland by clicking here. I think Graceland is really cool because it’s huge and it kind of looks like the white house in front.
