Tal's Tooth

One day I wanted to get a lose tooth and get a quarter. So I started wiggling a tooth and it became so wiggly I could almost, almost pull it out by myself. I was scared to. So, I kept on keeping it and keeping it and keeping it not from getting wiggled so my dad couldn't force me to get it out. One day I was watching my sister on the computer and I needed to sneeze, and my tooth flew out of my mouth! I didn't know it at first, but then I picked up a small white thing and said, "Mom, I lost a tooth!" I showed everybody in my family. I told my dad about it. A couple days later I munched on a candy cane and a little, small piece broke off. It was just enough size for a tooth. Cause of the red, it looked like the red was blood. I came up to my dad and mom and everyone at the table and said, "I lost another tooth!" And then Omi said, "Cool! Let me see!" And I held up the piece of the candy cane. 

The End

Mila's Report

I had an assignment at school. I had to look up bats, and here are some cool facts I found.  

Breathtaking Bats
You might think that bats are pests, carry rabies, eat all your fruit, and get stuck in your hair. However, most of that isn't true. Bats are important in many ways. Fruit bats spread the seeds from the fruit they eat and then new plants grow. Bats scatter 95% of the seeds in the tropical rain forests. They also pollinate flowers and eat harmful insects.  
Bats are mammals. They give birth to live young, feed them milk, have fur, and are warm-blooded. Did you know that bats are the only flying mammals? The smallest bats are only 29 mm while the bigger bats are about 5 ft. long. Also, their weight ranges from 2 grams to 3 pounds. 
Bats do not live in only one area. In fact, there are 1,100 species worldwide! Some bats live in forests, deserts, jungles, and cities. 
Did you know that not all bats drink blood? Only Vampire Bats do. A lot of bats eat fruit, insects, fish, frogs, and small animals. 
There are two kinds of bats: Megachiroptera and Michrochiroptera bats. Megachiroptera bats have big eyes and small ears, while Microchiroptera have small eyes and big ears and use echo location. ALso, bats are sacred in Tonga and West Africa.
