Current Events

A two-headed turtle has been born at the San Antonio Zoo. Workers at the zoo have named the turtles Thelma and Louise.

Zoo spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike said the two-headed turtle appears healthy and is able to swim and walk.

At this stage animal experts do not see any health issues for Thelma and Louise, named for the female duo in the 1991 Oscar-winning road movie of the same name.

The San Antonio Zoo is no stranger to two-headed reptiles. The facility was home to a two-headed Texas rat snake named Janus from 1978 until the creature’s death to 1995.

Free style Writing

This is just me having fun writing at home. Enjoy :D

How can people think when their minds are flooding with anger, how can people see when they are blind with rage, why do people act when it is an act of sadness and why do people talk like they do to others if they know that it will bring someone to tears. For what do the people do to them, nothing. But the world is a place of wonder and questions so if you wish to discover what lays ahead friendship and kindness is the key to what you seek.

Why we should have free time.

Why we  should have free time
Do you want a class that play games in class because they have no free time? that's why I think we should....

 
I think we should because basically kids love to finish their work fast and up to a high standard and even try to beat their friends if they know they have free time after. 

 
Kids doing work quietly and blogging at the same time and if this happens your class would have finished all their work and you won't ever need to walk around checking to see if we are doing the right thing, doesn’t that sound lovely?. 

 
Finally if we have more free time kids would never stop till they have done everything they have to. I know that any teacher wound what a lovely, quiet and hard working class room but I wonder if you do too?
