Today at Buckhead Gymnastics Center a fund-raiser that was not supposed to happen is taking place. The fund-raiser is for Sulley Adams who had a terrible birth trauma and has gone through many surgeries that have stripped him of all normal abilities. The doctors said that he would not survive, that he would die but he made it 11 years. We are hoping to raise 2,000 dollars to help Sulley’s family get through these hard times that have taken its toll on his family. Come to Buckhead Gymnastics at 6:00 and parents can drop their kids off and go out to diner or just relax. pick up is at 9:00. Just pay $20.00 and your child can play in a foam filled pit, jump on a trampoline (one person at a time) swing on bars, walk along a beam, play games for 3 hours, and will get diner!!! We NEED your help to raise 2,000 dollars to help Sulley and he needs your donations of 20 dollars to help him make it through to the end!! I hope to see many of you there to night!! All the money we raise will go to a good cause and a family in needof your help!!

The topic I am writing about is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I chose this topic because I wanted to learn about how they built such beautiful gardens. Also, I thought the gardens looked interesting to learn about, and I wanted to learn more about them. My classmates and I came up with an “essential question”. Mine is, “Why were the Hanging Gardens important ?”
The Hanging Gardens was interesting to research. Some interesting things I learned were, the gardens were said to have been built by a king of Babylon for his home sick wife. The gardens were destroyed by several earth quakes. The gardens had vaulted terraces raised one above the other. The structure was about 350 feet tall. It was made of mud-brick and stone. A fun fact about these gardens is, that they are one of the original seven wonders of the ancient world. These gardens were very complicated.
A lot of things went well and not so well. Some things that went well were, that I had a lot of web-site choices. What went not so well was that I could not find any book resources at all. This made it hard to get a variety of resources for my research. What I learned was that the gardens had many purposes other than looking beautiful, they were very important. An example is they helped a home-sick wife feel more at home. So over all I learned a lot from this topic.
