The fourth graders were lined up outside, ready to go in after a fun day of recess, eager to get away from the chilliness.

I remember having to beg her to let me stay for my fourth grade year and finally she let me but the deal was if I stayed for fourth grade then I would have to move to fountain for my fifth grade year. Of course I was happy that I got to stay another year but I was really upset about the fact that I couldn’t finish elementary in Denver but it was what had to happen. So during my fourth grade year I got really popular and made some great friends that I hung out…

The First Crusade began in 1095, when armies of Christians from Western Europe responded to Pope Urban II’s plea to go to war against Muslim forces in the Holy Land.

Muslims in the region vowed to wage jihad, or Holy War, to regain control over the region. Many of the Crusaders…
