Can you see what is on the windows of this high-rise building?

Is it Spiderman??

Actually two people are cleaning the windows while just suspending themselves with ropes! The water they were cleaning with fell to the ground from way high up, and we could see water all over the ground in
big puddles!

Jay and his classmates went on a little outing for school and they encountered this scene. It was amazing!

Qin Qi Hwang Di and the Terra Cotta Warriors

This week we learned about the the life of Qin Qi Hwang Di, the first emperor of China.  He built a tomb with three mounds and filled them with terra cotta warriors.  Terra means earth.  Terra Cotta is clay.  He wanted to have his afterlife the same as his real life.  He accomplish his goal of being a very powerful man.  Qin Qi Hwang Di was a genius and tyrant.  He was very smart.  He started the Great Wall of China.  Qin Qi Hwang Di also burned books that weren't Chinese because he wanted only one language.   He was a tyrant because he also killed scholars he didn't want to put up with people who argued with him.   He united 7 kingdoms by forcing them to join his kingdom. He sent 500 boys and girls to an expedition across the seas to find the elixor of immortality but they never came back.  He became an emperor at 13.  He read 200 pounds of bamboo scrolls a day.

To finish our study of the first emperor, we made our own terra cotta warriors.
