Alligators!!!!!!!

Alligators are large.  Sometimes small.  Alligators are reptiles.  My dad and I watch a show called swamp people.  It is about not just one group,but more than one group.  In one group their names are Tomy and Joey.  They go out and hunt big alligators.  Or as they like to call them  big gators.  Alligators in the wild are believed to live for 35-50 years.  In captivity their lifespan may be significantiy longer, perhaps 60-80 years.  Currently,there are are no scientific methods of analyzing an alligator.  OK! got to go bye,bye

Reptiles!!!!!!!

Hello,                                   What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word reptile?  Is it a snake?  A reptile is a cold-blooded vertebrate.  Do you remember what a vertebrate is? Well if you don't i will tell you.  It is an animal with a backbone.  For example a frog is a vertebrate.  But a cold-blooded vertebrate is different.  For example a turtle is a cold-blooded vertebrate.  So are alligators,lizards,and snakes.Thank you for reading my blog!Bye,Bye!

What We Are Learning In School!!!!!!!!

Hello,  What are you learning in school?   I will tell you what I am learning.  Do you like school?  It is OK for me.:)  We learned that vertebrates have backbones and invertebrates don't have backbones.  For more info go to Meredith Miller.  COOL!  We learned that plural nouns have a s,but singular nouns don't.  Have you herd of the miners in Chile?  Well the tunnel clasped when they where working! They got out safely ! That is so cool!There was one miner who his wife had a baby when in the 69 days!I also learned how to do elapsed time,too.  In tiger time we blogged sometimes,too.  I also learned in music that some people don't believe in technology!  So they ride in these things called bugys instead of cars!  That is cool!  My teacher asked my class if we would of moved to a different country and you could only bring 10 things what would they be?  I said I would bring my dogs Mollie,Sophie,Bella,and Callie.My D.S,my ipod, my teddy bears ,too.My pillow and a blanket.I got to go!bye,bye

Fish And Amphibians!

Hello,

Animals that have a backbone are called vertebrates.  Do you have a fish?  I don't because I have four dogs!  There are three types there is a bony fish, a cartilage fish and a jawless fish.  Fish are cold-blooded.  Cold-blooded means it's body temperature changes with the temperature of it's environment.  Fish have scales, just like people have skin.  Some fish live in fresh water such as streams and lakes.  But some live in the ocean,too.  Your skeleton has some cartilage and many bones.  Now to the amphibians.  Like fish,amphibians they are also cold-blooded vertebrates.  Amphibians are an important part of the environment.  Fish and amphibians are so cool!  Thanks for reading!Bye,Bye

Mollusk!

Can you think of a way a octopus and a snail are alike?  Not every mollusk has a shell.For example a octopus doesn't have a shell.  Did you know that people use mollusk for food?  That is sad!  Mollusks are soft bodied invertebrates that live on land or in fresh salt water.  Snails have one  shell.  Clams and oysters have two shells with a hinge.  Most mollusks have a head and a muscular foot for moving.  COOL!  How would you like to have snails and octopus for lunch?!

What I'm Doing In School!

He is Nice!Our reading Goals are making inferences by identifying the author's purpose.  Our math goals are being able to do place value and time.  Our Grammar goals are  determine proper and common nouns. Thanks for reading my blog! bye,bye!

Flat Worms

Flat worms are a simple Invertebrate. Flat Worms are simple worms with long, soft bodies that are flat.If a part of the flat worm gets damaged,the cells will grow back. Flat Worms are more  complex than sponges and stinging-celled animals. A flat worm  is another animal that undergoes regenertion. They have organs for moving ,digesting food,and getting rid of materials. Flat Worms have cells that form tissues for sensing their surroundings. Their solid bodies have only one opening for taking in food and getting rid of wastes.Thank you for reading my blog.Bye Bye

round worms

Hi,

        Do you know what a round worm is? Well if you don't I will tell you.Round worms have two openings .One is for food for the round worm.The second one is for wastes.Did you know you know that some round worms are parasites?A parasite is is an animal or a plant that lives on or in a host.COOL! Round worms have bodies that are more complex than the bodies of flat worms.But that is a different story.Did you know that one type of  a round worm lives inside a pig?! COOL!Thanks for reading.Bye

Invertebrates

Hi this is Meredith,



Today I read about Invertebrates. An invertebrate is something with out a backbone. For example the simplest kind of an Invertebrate is a sponge. Not the kind of sponge at your house.  This sponge  lives in the ocean.If a part of the sponge is damaged, The cells of the sponge will regrow back.If you have ever been in the ocean before,you might of seen a jelly-fish was up on shore!Jelly-fish have painful stings ouch!Don't get stung  by one!  thank you for reading.bye
