We are learning to write information reports. To be successful we need to answer these questions.
1. What is it?
2. What does it look like?
3. Where do you find it?
4. What can it do?
5. What do you think about it?
Whales
A whale is a mammal and they are sea creatures. They look like a huge fish, but they aren't. We see them in the ocean. Some people see them at sea. Whales can do back flips. They are the biggest mammal in the whole history of the world. Even bigger than a dinosaur. I feel sad when people kill them.

Whales
Whales are animals and mammals. Whales are the biggest things in the world. A whale has bumps and they are warm-blooded. The whales live in the ocean. They can swim and breath. Most whales can do back flips. I think whales are cool and awesome because they are monstrous.

All Together - Friendship
This week the Life Education van is visiting our school. We are learning how to be good friends. This is Payton's story about our first visit to the van.
Today we saw Harold the giraffe. We watched a movie about him. He is cute. We heard him eating breakfast. We heard him brushing his teeth! He is big. We saw him bike riding in the movie. He had a rabbit friend and a possum friend and he had a big house. His door is shaped like a giraffe.
