Learning about the Moghul Dynasty

[A.D. 1526-1530] His enemies called him Babur the tiger. Babur was a descendant from Genghis Khan. Babur was banished from his homeland by a rival ruler. He heard a sultan conquered the city of Delhi so he wanted it for himself. He attacked the city of Delhi. He attacked with 12,000 horse riders armed with muskets. The sultan defended with 100,000 men and 1,000 war elepants. Although outnumbered, Babur won with his fast horses and muskets. Then during Babur's reign over the city of Delhi, he made a garden. He called it the garden of scattered flowers. The Indians called the garden ram bagh. He fed the garden with a water wheel. You can still see the remains of the garden in the city of Agra in India.

Heidi's first BLog Post

I love puppies. They are so cute. They are my favorite animals in the whole world. I used to have a puppy named Ami. Ami was a miniature Dachshund. I loved her very much. She was my friend. I miss her very much. I wish I could see her again. I had another puppy and he's now a year and a half old dog. His name is 'Tit Frere, which is French for Little Brother. 'Tit Frere is a German Rottweiler. He is so crazy. He runs into the walls. He's so tall he can almost touch my big brother's head. I love him very much even though he's crazy. He is so funny. We play games with him. He won't give back the frizzby. He wants to jump on the trampoline with us sometimes. My dog likes playing with the cats but the cats always win. My dog likes to go in our lake. Sometimes, my dog falls in the pool. He shakes when he gets out of the pool and gets everyone wet.
