my summer yesterday

Yesterday I did some things that I really want to tell you about. The 1st thing I did yesterday was go to the market and the bagel store. We bought bread, chips and salsa, bananas, lunch meat, and jack cheese (which I like) at the market. At the bagel store, we bought crisp apple bagels oh my favorite. The 2Nd thing I did was go to the beach. It was a blast, and we saw two pelicans in the ocean. I think that they mated because one was brown and the other was brown with a white stripe on it. the 3rd thing I did was go to the i hop restaurant. We all had pancakes there, and I also had a cheese Burger with fries. That was what I did yesterday.

PraIrie dogs

I KNOW SOME THINGS ABOUT PRAIRIE DOGS, SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOME THINGS ABOUT PRAIRIE DOGS. FIRST OF ALL, PRAIRIE DOGS BARK, AND HAVE THE WORD DOG IN THEIR NAME, BUT PRAIRIE DOGS ARE NOT DOGS AT ALL. PRAIRIE DOGS ARE A GROUND SQUIRREL THAT LIVE IN THE PRAIRIES OF MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. NOW PRAIRIE DOGS MOSTLY EAT PLANTS. PRAIRIE DOGS EAT PLANT LIKE GRASS, LEAVES, BARK, FRUIT, AND FLOWERS. PRAIRIE DOGS MIX BUGS WITH THEIR DIET. PEPOLE THINK OF PRARIE DOGS AS PESTS BECAUSE PRAIRIE DOGS EAT THE PLANTS WE GROW. SO, EVERYONE AGREED TO TAKE UP THE PRARIE DOGS LAND SPACE, BY MOVING OUR HOUSES NEXT TO PRAIRIE DOGS HOMES. MANY OF THE PRAIRIE DOGS DIED. ABOUT TWO-MILLION PRARIE DOGS ARE LEFT ON EARTH. RIGHT NOW, THE UTAH AND MEXICAN PRAIRIE DOGS ARE ENDANGERED(IN- DAN-JERED) ENDANGERED MEANS THEY'RE "IN DANGER" OF GOING EXTINCT. (X-STINKED). EXTINCT MEANS THERE ARE NO MORE LEFT ON EARTH. PEPOLE ARE NOT THE ONLY THINGS THAT HUNT PRAIRIE DOGS. BLACK FOOTED FERETS HUNT PRAIRIE DOGS ALSO. BUT HOWEVER, BLACK FOOTED FERETS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED EXTINCT MILLIONS OF TIMES. BUT BLACK FOOTED FERETS HAVE NOT GONE EXTINCT AT ALL. NOW SOME PEPOLE STILL HUNT FOR PRAIRIE DOGS, WHILE OTHERS TRY TO PROTECT PRAIRIE DOGS. WELL I HOPE YOU LEARNED ALOT ABOUT PRARIE DOGS, AND TRY TO HELP THEM.

The wombat

Yesterday, I read a book about wombats. I didn't get to finish it, but I'll tell ya some things I learned about wombats. First I learned that wombats are found in the forests of the Continent Australia and Tasmania. Then I learned that Wombats are marsupials. Marsupials are mammals that keep there babies in a pouch on there bodies. Kangaroos and opossums are marsupials. The third thing I learned in the book is how wombats were first known. Now wombats dig burrows in the ground. So when Europe people went to Australia, they found a strange creature digging burrows in the ground. They were thinking of it of as a badger. They decided to call it a womat or a wobat. So it got the name wombat. That was everything I learned in the book

Jackson's summer

During the summer, I went to Floridia. This is about my first day at the Atlantic ocean and the hotel at Floridia which had alot of games and big beds with plenty of flowers on them. When I first got to the hotel, I didn't know where my bed was. It was not the same place as the last time at the Floridia hotel
