Showing Courage ...


 It started four years ago when I went to a very small town in Colombia called Melgar. My grandparents, parents and I went to visit my aunts ex, ex boyfriend's, Andres, family. When we arrived we ate lunch, talked and played cards. It was almost 6:00 pm and my grandfather asked me to go for a ride on  Andres' motorcycle.  I said yes... but I didn't knew what was going to happen...


All was going OK !, until it started to get darker and darker. I said " Grandpa  we should go back", He answered "yes, you are right"... It was alone and quiet, I though that we were lost, and then suddenly we realized that we were on a mountain ! My grandfather said "we can call your father" !, but when we look at the cellphone it was uncharged, and the gas of the motorcycle was all most empty. We waited ... and waited. 


I was so scared but I knew that we had to find a way to go back to the house. I though "we should walk" so we started walking... there were no cars, no motorcycles and no people... until we saw a red car, my grandfather said "there is your father". I didn´t believe, until I saw my father going out of the car , I was so happy. then we went to the house and my mother said "I was so worried about you" I answered "ok, mom" and then we ate dinner and we went to bed. Since that I decided not to go too far from home , and to always take with me a charged cellphone !

Hope you like it !

What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans?

The artifacts that the early human drew were clues that were trying to tell us how they use to live in those times. we tried to guess what the artifacts that the early humans made meant and we came up with very many interesting hypothesis.

our guesses were about the pictures that Ms. Reiser gave us and for example that some of them drew pictures of very many animals and that provably meant that the artist is trying to show the  world around him or she. they drew some bulls, horses and many other animals.in some of the paintings there are hand prints which provably mean that the artist is signing the picture.
maybe they drew in places is because they had special ceremonies in that place.

Thank U !
