Mexico Wrap-up

My son was in a silly mood when we did this as you will see...



ECC - MFW
Week 5 & 6 (Mexico)

What have you learned?
I learned about different things from Mexico. Like how they live. And I learned a couple words that they speak. I also learned how to make a pinata, but we haven't done that yet. We made paper flowers. Now I know a couple states from Mexico like Durango, Tabasco and Mexico City. I learned a lot about Cuba and the Caribbean Islands.
In science I learned about how animals live the deserts and how hunters catch food. The rabbits have lots of blood vessels in their ears so that more air gets let out from them. Animals bury themselves underground to keep cool.
The kangaroo rat lives in sandy areas. They go to eat in the night time. The foxes come and try to eat the kangaroo rats. But, the kangaroo rats jump up and kick sand in the foxes face, so the kangaroo rats have time to run away.
The trapdoor spider has a door that it puts in the sand, whenever something little enough that the spider can eat comes, it opens the door and takes it into it's "house" basically and eats it.
Rattlesnakes wait quietly in a bush to eat. Finally a kind of rat comes by which he likes to eat, so he jumps out at the rat. So the snake sprays his venom out from his fangs at the rat. Still the rat runs away, but dies fast. Finally the snake catches the dead rat.
What are some favorite things you did?
My favorite thing I did was making the paper flowers. That was like the BEST BEST BEST of all!!! That's how much I liked it. I can't think of anything else better than that. I also liked to learn the language of Mexico. Do you know how Mexico City was made? Well, at first there was just water in Mexico City; it was a lake. Then people came and put sand on all Mexico City and then made it Mexico city. (That was a little short story. And there you go for that. Bye Bye!)
What picture did I pick for this?? Betcha can't guess...
Him and his paper flowers!!! Of course!
(My camera is going nutso right now or I'd give you a picture of the flowers. Sorry!)
