Graded papers tomorrow.

This morning we went to the stage to practice our readers’ theater. We will practice one more time before our performance tomorrow night. We are writing a Texas booklet so today we researched the mockingbird on facts4me.com and wikipedia.com for information. Then we wrote a short paragraph about the mockingbird. Did you know the mockingbird does not fly south for the winter? We learned the mockingbird will dive bomb on cats getting near their nest. The mockingbird is a mimic, which means it copies the voice or sounds of other birds. Also, it can lay three to six eggs in its nest. Their diet consists of insects, fruit, and seeds. Interesting information!
