Hi Bart!!!
We missed you so much and are so glad that you are safe. We were really worried about you and your safety. We were really happy to hear about all the great survival things you had with you so that you were able to stay safe and healthy. We thought of a few more things that you might want to get before you go to your next destination. We think you might like a flashlight with extra batteries, a pocket knife, a sleeping bag, bug spray, sunscreen, first aid, and wristbands that keep insects up to 20 feet away. We agree with you that being prepared is the best way to be!
Today is day O and we are having OODLES of ORANGE fun! We just got back from the desert where we learned about some really BIG BIRDS!! The first bird we learned about was the Ostrich. The Ostrich can grow to be 8 feet tall and can run up to 40 miles per hour. We also learned that Ostrich has wings that are not strong enough to support their huge body. Next we learned a lot about the Galah. The Galah is a pink and pretty bird with a very interesting fact about it. Did you know that the Galah parents regurgitate their food to give it to their babies. Isn't that gross???!! We think it is super disgusting! Finally we learned about the Gila Woodpecker. Check out this cool link with all the pictures of the Saguaro Cactus we have been learning about, it is called Saguaro Slide Show. The Gila Woodpecker uses the Saguaro cactus as a habitat. It digs a hole in the cactus, then it take a right turn and goes further in and further in until it is happy with its home and it is called a Saguaro Boot. Once the boot is dead, the Indians take it and make food containers out of it. Isn't that cool?!!! We think it is awesome!
It is going to be Day N on Monday and we are going to eat Nutter Butter Cookies! We are also going to be nice, be neat and work with numbers. We might even use the number cubes for Math, make noodle art and write about nocturnal animals.
We hope you have a great, great weekend and please be safe, Bart, because we really want to continue blogging with you and we really like you a lot. Thanks for being such a great blogger and pal to us!
Sincerely,
your outstanding, orange, and oh-my-goodness great friends in Mrs. J's class
