all her third grade buddies are having fun with the latest fad:

just about eating a hard-boiled egg, however! It's really all about
cracking it on your head before you peel it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week, Mrs. Ranney's class is learning about animal <b>adaptations</b>.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An <b>adaptation</b> is a <b>body part </b>or <b>behavior</b> that helps a living thing survive in its environment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, a giraffe's long neck helps it reach the leaves in high trees on the savannas of Africa.<br />
The <b>giraffe's neck</b> is a <b>physical</b> adaptation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
An antelope squirrel stays cool during the hot desert day by <b>staying in its underground burrow.</b><br />
This is an example of a <b>behavioral adaptation</b>. </div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: medium;">********</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many animals have physical or behavioral adaptations. For example, polar
bears of the Arctic can </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">run on the ice without slipping. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To learn about
the polar bear's physical adaptation, <a href="http://www.eduplace.com/kids/hmsc/ca/activities/simulations/gr3/unita.html">click here!</a><br />
<br />
Here is a fun animal <a href="http://www.ecokids.ca/pub/eco_info/topics/climate/adaptations/index.cfm">adaptation quiz</a>! <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Use the <a href="http://www.worldbookonline.com/wb/products?ed=all&gr=Welcome+Chaparral+Elementary+School%21">Online World Book Encyclopedia</a> to research an animal of your choice.<br />
Take notes about two to three <b>adaptations</b>.<br />
Be sure to include the <b>animal's habitat</b>.</span></div>
<div style="color: red; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: red; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Write a comment as if you <b><i>are</i></b> that animal. </span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tell us about two or three of your adaptations!</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What makes your adaptations so useful? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Use HTML code to <b>bold</b> the facts!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The vernal equinox, which occurs on March 20 or 21 each year and
signals the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, is also the
autumnal equinox—the first day of autumn—</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in the Southern Hemisphere!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(The autumnal equinox in the north, which occurs </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in late
September, is the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">first day of spring south of the equator.)</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
If you were standing on the equator during either the vernal or
autumnal equinox, you would see the sun pass directly overhead, the only
two times in the year when that is true.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">In geometry, we have been studying <b>solid</b>, <b>3 -</b><b> d</b><b>imensional</b>, shapes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="color: red;">Shapes that have three dimensions have <b>length</b>, <b>width</b>, and <b>height</b>.</span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Today Mrs. Ranney gave us toothpicks for <b>edges</b> and </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">clay to create <b>vertices</b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;">We started out with simple figures, like <b>cubes</b>,<b> rectangular prisms</b>, and <b>square pyramids</b>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> <span style="color: red;">Then we explored other possibilities! See if you can find <b>triangular</b>, <b>pentagonal</b>, <b>hexagonal</b>, <b>septagonal</b>, </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: red;">and <b>octagonal</b> <b>prisms</b>! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Three very special parts of the
exhibition were the life-size models of George Washington. Each one
represented a different age and important event in his life. These
figures were created using some amazing technology! Articles of
Washington's own clothing, a </span><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/gwlifemask.asp" style="color: blue;">life mask</a><span style="color: blue;">
created by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon, and even Mr.
Washington's dentures were all part of the process used to figure out
exactly what he would have looked like at these stages of his life!</span><br />
