ANIMAL OF THE WEEK!
BUTTERFLY!
HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT BUTTERFLYS!
-Butterflies are insects.
-A butterfly’s lifecycle is made up of four parts, egg, larva (caterpillars), pupa (chrysalis) and adult.
-Butterflies attach their eggs to leaves with a special glue.
-Most caterpillars are plant eaters (herbivores).
-Fully grown caterpillars attach themselves to a suitable twig or leaf before shedding their outside layer of skin to reveal a hard skin underneath known as a chrysalis.
-An adult butterfly will eventually emerge from the chrysalis where it will wait a few hours for its wings to fill with blood and dry, before flying for the first time.
-Butterflies can live in the adult stage from anywhere between a week and a year, depending on the species.
-Butterflies have four wings.
-Butterflies often have brightly coloured wings with unique patterns made up of tiny scales.
-Most butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.
-Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet.
-Scientists estimate that there are between 15000 and 20000 different species of butterfly.
-Birdwing butterflies have large, angular wings and fly in a similar way to birds.
-Monarch butterflies are known for their long migration. Every year monarch butterflies will travel a great distance (sometimes over 4000 km), females will lay eggs and a new generation of monarchs will travel back, completing the cycle.

MY TEACHER ATE MY HOMEWORK!
My teacher ate my homework, which I thought was rather odd. He sniffed at it and smiled with an approving sort of nod. He took a little nibble -- it's unusual, but true -- then had a somewhat larger bite and gave a thoughtful chew. I think he must have liked it, for he really went to town. He gobbled it with gusto and he wolfed the whole thing down. He licked off all his fingers, gave a burp and said, "You pass." I guess that's how they grade you when you're in a cooking class.
PERFECT!
Today I managed something that I've never done before. I turned in this week's spelling quiz and got a perfect score. Although my score was perfect it appears I'm not too bright. I got a perfect zero; not a single answer right.
DEAR SANTA, HERE IS MY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST!
Dear Santa, here's my Christmas list. I hope you'll bring it all. I've only asked for gifts my parents can't find at the mall. I'd like to have a UFO, with aliens inside, and maybe a Tyrannosaurus Rex that I could ride. A ninety-nine foot robot is a present I could use. I'll also need a time machine, and rocket-powered shoes. Please bring a gentle genie who will grant my every wish, and don't forget a wizard's wand, and, yes, a talking fish. Of course, I'll need a unicorn, and won't you please provide a dragon, and a castle in the English countryside. Of course, the weight of all these things might cause your sleigh to crash. If that's the case, dear Santa, please feel free to just bring cash.
