Did you know how to be a zookeeper? If you don't, well you have come to the right place, me. First you call your mom or dad to go in the Jacksonville Zoo to be a zookeeper.

Step 1 Feed the African elephants with some yellow hays. If the African elephant is sullen, bring him a mate.
Step 2 Take the elephant to a bath. He likes taking a bath in mud.
Step 3 Take a Baird's Tapir into the water but be careful because it might poop underwater.
Step 4 Baird's Tapir's eat vegetables so feed him.
Step 5 Get a broom to pick up the large poop or small poop if needed.
Step6 Feed the rhinoceros some hay. Be careful because rhinos can chase you!
Step 7 If a animal escapes at the zoo, grab your gun or weapon. Shoot the animal in the neck to make them sleep.
Step 8 If animals were sick, grab an animal medicine to make animals feel good.
Step 9 If camels or gemsbok are hungry, feed them large hays like zebras.
Step10 If a jaguar and lions are hungry, feed them some meat chow. They like the meat chow.
Step 11 If warthogs are hungry, feed them hay or vegetables.
Step 12 If the giraffes are hungry, feed them hay or green vegetables. If they are sick, feed them animal medicine to feel them better.
Step 13 Use a sleep gun to gun an escaped animal.
Step14 Feed the antelope green grass when they are hungry.
Step 15 Give monkeys bananas or vegetables to eat like bananas.
Step 16 Feed the sting rays some fish when there are hungry.
Step 17 Keep all people out of the cages. You can use and electric fence.
Step 18 Feed the foxes some small meat chow.
Step 19 Be sure to give theultures some meat. They will eat almost any kind of meat.

HOW TO EAT AN OREO BY SHAUGNASSY

Doesn't the sound of vanilla OREO with the crunchy good OREO cookie with the silky good vanila cream make your mouth water? Do you want to know how to eat a tasty good vanilla OREO cookie? Well, here is how I eat a vanilla OREO with vanilla cream that tastes good.

First, when I get a vanila cookie, I pour myself a glass of creamy milk. I get a plastic white plate. So I slowly turn the top of the cookie off of the cream. After that, I dunk the top in the milk until there are vanilla cookie crumbs are in it. Then I take tiny bites off the top.

Right after that, I try not to break the cream as I slowly take the cream off the bottom. I dip the cream in the milk and eat it. It is so tasty. So then I do what I did with the top of the OREO to the bottom. That's how I eat a vanilla OREO. Next time we meet, you can tell me how you eat a vanilla OREO cookie.

How to eat an Oreo cookie by Serina

Do you want to know how to eat a delicious OREO cookie? Well here is how. First you need to get an OREO out of the pakage. Then you twirl the top off as slow as a snail. This way the Oreo won't break.

Next you get a cup and pour the milk in it. Dunk your OREO cookie top into the cool refreshing milk. Then take it out and eat it. Then get another cookie and twirl off the top of the OREO cookie and dip it in the refreshing milk. Then you eat the top again.

After that, you gently break off the creamy icing and part of the cookie in pieces.   Just be careful to leave some icing on and break off only part of the cookie.  Dip the bottom cookie in the cool, refreshing milk.  Eat it.  Last you eat the rest after you dip it in your milk.  Finally you drink what is left of your cool, refresing milk.

That is how I eat my Oreo cookie.  How do you eat it?

How to Independently Read by Hunter

     Do you know how to independently read? Do you ever want some quiet time? Do you ever want to read a good book? Do you want to be alone? If you do, you have come to the right person. Let me tell you how to independently read.

     First, get your bag of books and find you a quiet spot to read your bag of books. Your books should be books that you want to read. They should also be interesting.

     Next, don't touch your friends aroud you. If you happen to be sitting near another person, you need to leave them alone so you can read and concentrate. Then, try not move from where you are sitting. This way you can enjoy your book.
     Read your books over and over again until time is called. It is okay to read a book over and over again because it helps improve your fluency.
     Finally, return to your seats when signeld. Be sure to log the books you have read. You may even want to write a response to your books. That is how to indperdently read a story. I hope you take a chance and curl up with a good book.

February 28

     Good morning! I am Shaugnassy from Mrs. Cowan's class. When you first come in our class, you say the pledge. At 8:40, the class has a fire drill. When the fire drill is over, we write our homework in our agendas. We then took a minute math work sheet. A minute math work sheet is a timed math test of addition facts to 18.
     Then we read a story called Ant. It was a non-fiction story about ants. Right after that, we did a graphic organizer on the story Ant. It was a web about ants. Then we had popcorn for snack. It tasted wonderful.
     After snack, we independently read for 20 mintes while waiting for lunch. When the clock hit 11:55, we lined up for lunch.
     Then the teacher picked us up and we walked back to the class. Mrs. Robinson read the class a story called TEMPLE OF THE RUBY OF FIRE by Geronimo Stilton. The light's out in the room with our head's down as we listened. When we were done with the chapter we turned back on the light.
     Then Mrs. Robinson asked the class to gather for calendar math. She got the math bag and she pulled out a jar. Out of that jar she pulled a stick with someone's name on it to do the calendar. than we got ready for are resources. It was fun! When we got back, we went home.
