David Allen Sibley

by Weston

 
David Sibley wrote a series of awesome books about birding and the Sibley guide to trees, which is very strange because he is an American ornithologist. They talk about 800+ bird species of the US and Canada.

 
They talk about birds from Abert's towhees (medium sized red songbird) to zone-tailed hawks in just a few books. Mr. Sibley has also written a preface in a book about his adventures in creating the two field guides to birds of North America. Sibley lives in Concord, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons.

He travels all over the northeastern USA going birding. Also, He is 62 years old, and he was born October 22, 1961. Sibley also travels across North America leading birding tours, and he is an awesome bird painter. Also, he made a 2nd edition to his books the ‘Sibley Birds West’ and ‘Sibley Birds East’ 2016.

 
He is so important, because he has created field guides to North America that help birders with bird identification.

Jim Henson

By Noah M.

Jim Henson was born on September 24 1936 and died on May 16, 1990. Mr. Henson was a puppeteer, artist and a cartoonist and he was most famous for creating the Muppets. Jim has changed the way we think of puppets today. Changing the way we think of puppets is a big establishment.

Jim grew up in a small town called Greenville near the Mississippi river which is very hard to spell by the way but back to the story. Jim went fishing every summer with his cousins and almost always caught the biggest fish. When Jim was didn't have school, he drew pitchers of monsters' funny ones with curly beaks. People asked what his inspiration was, and he always said it was his toy deer because of the way he imagined it.

When Jim was a teenager, he needed a job, but he was always turned down when he signed up for a job, until one day when he was offered a job for a tv show called Sam and friends, so Jim cut up a teal coat and boom! Kermit the frog was born Later after Sam and friends was over Jim got asked to help make puppets for a project for kids called sesame street and Bert and Ernie came to life.

At the time Jim had an idea for a show called the Muppet show ad Kermit the frog was the host, and the show was so popular that guest stars showed up. I really like it and it’s now on Disney + so you should check it out.

Saddle Jim died on May 16, 1990, and at he's funeral and big bird came and sung it’s not easy being green on of Kermit the frog’s most famous songs.

I think Jim Henson is a hero of the world of puppets because if he didn’t create the Muppets puppets would be very unpopular. The most important thing is that Jim didn’t give up, he moved forward to create a master piece, and he was a hero and an inspiration to many people including me.

Leonardo Da Vinci

By: Evan
You probably know me as a 14-15 engineer and artist and creating a couple of famous paintings. Art is never finished, only abandoned. In my early Life I have had to deal with 3 sisters 4 step mothers and 9 brothers. 

I never acutely went to a school or got any formal education, but I have always found an interest in science since I was just a boy. I have gotten to meet kings and queens very famous people very famous, but they looked down on me for some time I saddened me, but I was determined to take the ow from their mouth. So, I attempted the making war machines I tried making something that you call a tank. My tank was based off a turtle shell that was a great invention I could have done different things. I also tried  

That would carry you through the air that you could put on your back. But it was used hundreds of years later in 1783. I have done many inventions and paintings such as the Mona Lisa and the last supper. Thank you for your time.

Frida Kahlo

                                                         

 By: Ella   

Frida Kahlo had a hard life when she was small. Her and her sister, Christina, did not get along, and fought about her father's health. I think she has a fascinating story, and I would like to tell you it. 

 Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Mexico City, Mexico, and passed away July 13, 1954. Her mother was named Matilde Calderon Y Gonzalez and died when Frida was in her 20s. Kahlo’s father's name was Guillermo Kahlo. He died of an old age. 

 When Frida was six, she contracted polio. Somehow on her left leg the muscle became thinner, so her left leg was shorter than her right leg. She got bullied and people called her “Peg Leg” and “One legged Frida.” 

 Once she was old enough, she started to paint to make money for her family. When she was 12, she started middle school. At the middle school, they were supposed to wear uniforms (long skirts, long sleeve button up shirts), but she broke the rules and wore short sleeve shirts. In high school, she got bullied for having a unibrow and a faint mustache, but she didn’t care, she simply embraced it! 

 On September 17, 1925, she was on a wooden bus on her way home from school. The bus collided with a streetcar. One of the metal poles went through her ribs and came out  her pubic area. She suffered several injuries including, a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, 11 fractures in her right leg, and a crushed right foot. After that, she could no longer have kids. 

 When she was in her full body cast, her boyfriend came in and told her that he was moving to Italy. She said ok and asked him when. He said by the next week or so. She started to draw a butterfly on her cast and said, “I want you to leave before I finish this butterfly.” Then, she never saw him again. 

 In 1929, she married Diego Rivera, in the town hall of Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico. Frida wore a long skirt and flowers in her hair. Diego wore a plain grey suit. In 1939, they divorced. After they divorced, she chopped all her hair off. Then again in 1940, they remarried. Frida lived in a blue house, and right next door lived Diego in a bright pink house. 

 In her last years, she spent most of her time in the hospital, because she was passing away from heart disease, and respiratory failure. She passed away, July 13, 1954, with Diego by her side in Mexico City, Mexico. 

 Frida showed that she cannot only do good without a man, but better. Throughout her years of anger and disappointment, she realized something, be YOURSELF! When she was getting bullied for having a mustache and unibrow, she didn’t care, she embraced it. Despite what matter, what, always be you.
