I like that we celebrate crazy hat and hair day. Tomorrow I will be wearing blue clothes because of spirit week. The reason I didn’t celebrate crazy hat/hair day is that I woke up too late. My favorite thing about spirit week is tattoo’s because they feel funny. If I could make any day, it would be donut day every Friday.
I felt good about going to the zoo. It was my second time going to the Richmond Zoo. On the bus ride, there was a ton of potholes. I sat with Campbell on the bus and we did Rubicks cubes together. Once we got there, at lunch I sat with Taylor and Levi. One animal I liked seeing was the bison because I have never seen one before. Something that surprised me was that when a giraffe ate food from my hand, his or her tongue curved. Two things I would tell a second-grader about is if they go there they should bring quarters to feed the giraffes, and not to stick your fingers through the holes in the fencing where the penguins are because they could peck them.
R: I liked the zoo because of the birds. One of them had a huge wingspan. The little parakeets were fun to feed.
My animal was the lion. I chose the lion because my last name in India means lion. First we read and took notes, then we organized the notes and finally we wrote out what we were going to say. Two things I learned was that the lions nickname is “King of beasts” and that it is not endangered but vulnerable. At first before my presentation I was a bit nervous, but after I felt good. Some fun facts are the lions roar can be heard from five miles away! Also in the wild it lives about twelve to fifteen years, and in captivity, it lives twenty to twenty-five years.I found that it’s mating season is February through April.
