Oral Report: John and Abigail Adams

John worked in Boston and they were both apart from each other for most of the time.

Abigail worked with people and gave them food.

They moved away from Boston in case there was going to be a war.

When they got older they got together.

Abigail was married to the second President and John's job was to help the American Revolution and he was the president.

I felt like women should go to school because it's not fair that they didn't get to go; just boys. Abigail read books and had a homeschool. She wrote letters.

She helped people and gave them food and helped the Revolution.

I want to be my kids mom and take care of them as my most important job and learn about people and read books.

Oral Report: Vermeer


1. He does beautiful blues and pearly whites and beautiful yellows.


2. I like the Girl with a Pearl Earring painting that he did. Because it has the pearl earring. And I like the yellow.


3. I like The Milkmaid. Because I think the milk looks like it's pouring very nicely.


4. The side that the window is on is light and the other side of the window is dark. That makes your face half bright and half dark.


5. I like all the colors that he likes the beautiful yellows and the beautiful blues. I like the one, The Geographer. I like the white, and the globe.
