By: Dana* and Hannah:)


The amazing world of dolphins is one you will never forget. Dive in and read away to the wonderful world under the sea. Dolphins have  lots of cool features. You will learn about those wonderful features while reading what we have written.
                    These are some facts on the dolphins body. Dolphins have 300 bones, and thirty-four muscles. Dolphins can grow to be thirteen feet (four meters). Male dolphins are generaly larger then females. Bottlenose dolphins are the chunkiest of all dolphins alike. Dolphins breathe by using a hole at the top of their head called a blowhole. Dolphins use their blowhole to breathe air like usUnder water, dolphins can hold their breath for about fifteen minnutes. Some dolphins you see will have a pink belly, they wern't just born with a pink belly, their belly is just simply sunburnt.

ECO-BOUTIQUO AND BUTTERFLY GARDEN 

BY: LIRAZ, SAVVAS, JOCELYN, AND DANA*

Starting April 22, 2013 we are having an Eco-friendly boutique, in order to raise money for the Butterfly Garden we are planting this spring. So far we have planted butterflyweed, zinnia and sunflower seeds in upcycled strawberry, egg, and yogurt containers. We will be selling some flowers at the Eco-Boutiquo and planting the rest in our outdoor classroom. Here are some photos of the seedlings and the garden before its planted. Please check in for updates and photos.
