"So Far Away, Yet So Close"

Liesel

Adventurous, daring

Reading, stealing, mastering

Benevolent, compassionate, omniscient, courageous

Saving, loving, caring

Mystic, perplexing

Death.

“Black”

Their hair isn’t yellow,

Their eyes aren’t blue;

Black is the only color

In the eyes and mind of a Jew.

The sun is blazing orange,

The trees are pine green;

Black is yet the only lonely color

The Jew in the basement has seen.

Purple is the color of the evening sky,

Gray is the color of the air;

Black is the color of the bomb

Which caused the family to be the last to tear.

Animal Fridays!

Recently, our unit has seen animals for the past two Fridays. Last Friday, our unit took a trip to the aquarium where we saw several different aqua creatures. We not only got to see but also had the ability to touch some of the animals such as jellyfish and starfish. The aquarium was the perfect trip because in science class we did learn about animal classification like fish. It was an overall wonderful trip where everyone did not just have fun, but learned along the way. This Friday was also yet another animal filled day, this time reptiles. We got a visit from a nearby zoo to our school and we were able to meet some of the zoo's reptiles. We met a turtle, a snake, a lizard, and a lizard which looked exactly like a snake. We also saw a really large alligator skin and a big turtle shell. We learned a lot of facts about these animals like how turtles are endangered creatures. We can definitely help the turtles by one simple task, no littering. The turtles favorite snack is a jellyfish, which look very similar to plastic shopping bags which we are littering. The bags are left on the beach and the turtles can't distinguish the difference between it and a jellyfish. So the bags end up being the turtle's snack sometimes. The bags stay in their stomachs and expand, letting them not consume any more food. This ends up killing the animal and letting their population decrease day by day. Overall, the past two Fridays were very intriguing and we all learned a lot in them.
