One thing that I learned are that there are different class rooms around the world. One of the new types of class rooms that I learned are floating schools. Floating schools are schools on boats, its in Bangladesh. Another class room is one that is in the woods. In their children learn about nature, its in Indonesia. This class room is my favorite, it has bouncy floors. In this class students play, its in Sweden. Finally, there is the bubble room its in Britain. In there students watch videos on the wall. Other facts that I learned is that it took 10 years to build the panama canal. The SS Ancon became the first ship to officially pass through it. People are now celebrating its 100 year anniversary. Each year more than 14,000 ships pass through the 50 mile canal, even though that may seem long it's better than the 9000 miles around south america. President Roosevelt said," This is one of the greatest works of the world." In 1999 the U.S handed over control to Panama. Panama wants to build a new lane for ships. This costs $5.2 billion dollars and was the most expensive since its building. Another thing that I learned is in the war of 1812 when the U.S finally one the war the troops proudly put up the U.S flag which led to Francis Scott Key to write the "Star Spangled Banner" The very same flag that was held up that day is still on display though it is 20% smaller because they cut off pieces and sold them as souvenirs. Yet another thing that I learned, is that there has been a new insect discovered. It goes into the megaloptera group this group is insect with long wings. This insect has a wingspan of 8.3 inches. Some more facts that I found is that Scotland has been a part of great Britain since 1707. On September 18 millions on people on Scotland will vote should Scotland be an independent country or not. Though Scotland is part of Britain it has its own government and can make important decisions. When in 2011 the S.N.P took control of Scotland it promised an Independence vote. The S.N.P says that as an independent country Scotland would be among the richest of countries thanks to natural gas and oil. The S.N.P says that as an independent country they could make taxes depending on their needs. Those who are against it think that being part of Britain give them strength, security, and a currency. Author of Harry Potter is against being independent she is scared the one day they'll look back and realize that they made a huge mistake. While typing this I realized how much things you can learn in Time For Kids.
