Adam’s World

   Today in the morning my dad went to the dentist. He was at the dentist for a long time. I knew he had to be doing something suspicious. He was out shopping for a knew car. The car that he bought was an Infinity. It is all black with leather seats. I liked it a lot. At first I though it was a type of Toyota. But, Then when I read the back that was the car that my dad been wanting since I was in kindergarden. He also likes the Rangerover.

  Today in class we were making books. My book is called Adam’s tales of short stories and poems. On my book I drew a Toucan, Blue Jay, Owl, Vulture, Tree Boa, and a Secretary Bird. It is about all the things we did in class. It is mostly about quote, poems, and short stories. I feel like I am a real author. It feels so cool. I can’t wait until the book gets binded.

   This morning when I came to school the daragonfly was on the window. I was so happy. Yesterday Ms. Lenahan was beating herself up because she thought it was dead. We are not sure whether the Green Darner is an immature male or a female. The male gets it’s color by eating. The color of a Green Darner is blue and green. It’s scientific name is Anax Junius. It is one of the largest fastest flying of the living dragonflies. They can fly up to 53 mph. It can eat a humming bird. It can see a full circle around them. Another name for the nymph is a naiad.  The range of the Green Darner is Canada, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and through out the whole U.S.A. The Dragonfly family is called Aeshnidae. The Green Darner provides food for fish, turtles, frogs, and birds.

  Today Ms. Lenahan saw a injured Herring Gull. Ms. Lenahan brought it to school. Before school Ms. Lenahan said that the Herring Gull had vomited on her. Ms. Lenahan was mad. This was when the day started to get crazy. After that Ms. Lenahan was even madder because a dragonfly nymph hatched over the weekend and Ms. Lenahan didn’t put anything over the tank and it got out. The class and I think the dragonfly is dead. Now she is beating her self up because of a minor mistake. Things happen and nobody is perfect so Ms. Lenahan shouldn’t be beating herself up.

   The refuge- In the morning my team and I were measuring the wind speed and humidity. The people in my team were Chanelle, Lee’Sa, Arielle, Ayala, and Princess. We had to go to three different places. We had to go to the field, the forest, and the pond. To measure the wind speed and the humidity we used a thing called a kestrel. It was named after the bird. When we were in the field I saw a Fowlers Toad. Then we also saw a Golden Moth. We didn’t know the actual name of it. Then we moved on into the forest. In the forest the bugs were really bad. Chanelle was glad when we got out of the forest. Then we moved onto the pond. I was very interested in the pond. At the pond I caught a cricket and a dragonfly nymph.

In the afternoon we went bird watching. As soon as we got there we saw a Great Egret. Then we got out of the bus and I went up on the tower. When I was on the tower I saw a Black Skimmer.  When I went down I saw about 30 Black Skimmers. I looked in the scope and I saw a Peregrine Falcon.The Falcon was sitting on a tower. He was pretty. Then out of no where a huge Osprey leaped out of the water. Then I saw a black skimmer skimming.

 Pythons are a snake. Some of them are small and some are very big. Some of them can get as large as an Anaconda. They are constrictors. Constrictors choke or crush their prey to kill it so they can eat it. Did you know that pythons are not poisonous. Pythons come in many colors. Some are black, yellow, green, etc. Never touch a python on the head. They may not be poisonous but they have a nasty bite and they will choke you.

  Anacondas are the worlds largest snake. In Venezuela they have many of them. When you got to marshes I can almost guarantee that you will see and Anaconda. In a show that I was watching a man who went to Venezuela went looking for an Anaconda. He found a small female Anaconda that was 11 ft. tall. Anacondas are constrictors that crush their prey’s bone.

   On Wednesday April 10th my class and the environmental club will be going to the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife refuge. The refuge is on route 9. When you come you should bring long socks, a t-shirt, a jacket, and long pants. Don’t were pants that long socks can cover. Bring a smile and enthusiasm. Also you should pack your lunch. If you don’t provide by this letter your consequence of trouble could be for you not to come.
