"The Story"

Beginning
scared quiet
hoping building missing
different alone lonely dead
crying bombing loving
dark still
End


"A Young Girls Struggle"
Liesel
Loving, sly, intelligent
Who loves her mother and brother
Who fells scared about the future
Who needs words to make her happy
Who shares her words in the bomb shelter
Who fears her world coming to an end
Who'd like to see her mama, papa and Rudy one more time
Who dreams of Max coming back alive
Who ends up living a long life in Sydney

Camden Aquarium

For a class trip my unit went to the Camden Aquarium. There were many different organisms there and many different environments. The organisms ranged from tiny fish to giant hippos, and everything in-between. Three things I learned from this trip are:

1. In the hippo’s environment there are special birds and fish who clean the hippo
2. There are penguins all over the world. The ones that we saw were from Africa.
3. Sharks range in all different sizes from under 69 lbs. to over 500 lbs.

Since we didn't have much time to explore all the exhibits there is still much to learn. Here are two things that I didn't learn at the aquarium:

1. A shark may grow over 20,000 teeth in its lifetime
2. The Lion’s Mane Jellyfish can grow up to 120 ft. long
