A Study of Animals
The Fourth Grade has been
studying about small animals in
our Science book. We have learned
about some of their habits and
how they protect themselves.
We have a small turtle in our
schoolroom. We have named him
"Pokey." 1t is interesting to
watch him eat and swim. He can't
swallow food unless his head is
under water. 1t is fun to watch
him eat scraps of meat, insects,
and turtle food. Sometimes he
burrows down in wet sand to hide.
Soon he will take long, long
nap in the mud.
We also have a toad in our
room. His name is "Hoppy." In
sects and worms are his chief
foods. We catch bugs and flies for
him. Once he ate nine bugs be-
fore stopping. Soon he will be hi
bernating in the damp sand for
his long winter rest and sleep.
