Nothing like silent fear in the morning

Humanitarians,

Congrats! Your last quiz of the 5th six weeks is under your belt. You are so close to the end. You have one more quiz, one more project, a bit more reading, and either an AP exam or a final and then you have completed the year. Bask in the glory of all you have accomplished thus far, but don't check out yet...a bit more is on the horizon.

y'all, during block lunch

Tomorrow, a lot of you are missing....I will post a link of the video we watch so you too can enjoy it. Regardless if you are here currently or not, you have a few pages in your Humanities textbook due on Monday...pg. 589-592! We will only be reading out of that book for the rest of the year, so put your other two in a safe space before you need them for review time.

Don't have a lot else going on, so let's hit up this day in history:

• 1828: Noah Webster copyrighted the first edition of his dictionary.



thank god for the dictionary, am i right?!

• 1860: The first pony express rider reached his destination of San Francisco. He left St. Joseph, Missouri on April 3. 
• 
• 
• 
• 1865: Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth
• 

• 1969: In a record breaking night at the Academy Awards, a tie between Katherine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand resulted in the two sharing the Best Actress Oscar, and Hepburn broke the record as the only actress to win three Best Actress Awards. Below are scenes from two of my favorite Streisand movies, Funny Girl and The Way We Were. 

• 2002: Hugo Chavez returned as president of Venezuela after being forced out of office two days before. 
• 

Finally, my cover for the day is one of my favorite songs. It is the Civil Wars covering Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. 

First, the original:
