Here is a paragraph about the history.
Delaware is very historical specially the civil war, but first how Delaware got its name was when Samuel Argall named Delaware river and bay after Virginian governor lord De La [...]
I’ve read a book called The Green Book. Its about people from earth that have to move to a different planet (they named Shine), and about how they live there. This book is a lot like the pilgrims voyage so I’m comparing it with the pilgrims voyage I’m gonna show you some similarities, like they both [...]
My little Dalton buddies came to my class. We’re writing a blog post about a school called Langston Hughes in New Orleans. My buddies wrote a paragraph about their relationship between house 43 and Langston Hughes. So here they are.
I have learned that in New Orleans there have been bad hurricanes especially [...]

I loved the middle school play/musical called Oliver. It was played at Dalton. It had great music and choreography. The special effects were amazing too, but one of the only flaws was it was kind of obvious that a girl played the main character Oliver Twist. Because when she took off [...]
