In History we learned about the Mayans. They were a city-state society. We read six poems, a lot from Germany. The thickness of lava determines who much gas it can trap. Thick lava can trap more so the pressure builds up. It also moves slower down the volcano and makes the sides steep. Runny lava lets gas escape almost right away and volcanoes with runny lava frequently erupt in small amounts. It also runs down the volcano fast so the slopes are shallow.

In history we learned about the Mayans, they lived in Mexico. I thought they lived in America, but mom said they lived in Mexico. The Mayans are interesting, they built many great things. They had a horrible religion. They did human sacrifices!!! A friend of mine, (Tutu is her nickname) and I are doing a play of the diary of Anne Frank, it is really really sad. But it is also fun, I would like to be in a play someday.
