Little Women

In school I've been reading Little Women. It is a great book. It is a story of four sisters named Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Their family is not very wealthy, and their dad is at war. They are learning that life is not all about money. It is a great book, and it has some funny parts. You should read it, if you haven't already.
( I am also writing a report on the author: Louisa May Alcott. I will write it on the blog when it is done.)

Freckle Juice

This book was funny. A guy named Andrew wanted freckles. A girl threw a paper to him at school that had a secret recipe for making freckle juice, which would give you freckles.
I really liked this book. I learned that you should like yourself just the way you are.

Birds

This is a cardinal that I drew. It is the state bird of seven different states.
Yesterday we learned about West Virginia, and today we learned about Illinois. It is both of these state's birds.
We have learned lots about birds. We have learned about their beaks, their feathers, birds of prey, we figured out why they sing, their habitats, we read a funny poem called "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat" by Edward Lear, and today we learned different symbols for birds. Like, the eagle stands for strength, the owl stands for wisdom, and the dove stands for peace.
I like learning about birds.
