Mar 30, 1981: President Reagan shot

President Reagan seconds before being shot.


The president was shot in the left lung, and the .22 caliber bullet just missed his heart. In an impressive feat for a 70-year-old man with a collapsed lung, he walked into George Washington University Hospital under his own power. As he was treated and prepared for surgery, he was in good spirits and quipped to his wife, Nancy, ''Honey, I forgot to duck,'' and to his surgeons, "Please tell me you're Republicans." Reagan's surgery lasted two hours, and he was listed in stable and good condition afterward.

Today in social studies:
7th- Assigned groups to work on Social Issues Project that deals with Social Issues that the countries of Asia and the Pacific are dealing with today.
6th- Concluded watching video over Africa today, discussed how AIDS is impacting African culture.
8th- Student led discussion over Ch4 Section 4 "The Spread of New Ideas".  Kids were in 4 groups and each group presented their main ideas/topics to the class.  Then each group had a q & a session.

Mr. Johnson
