If I could be a animal I would be.

If I could be an animal I would be...

If I could be a animal I would be a beautiful brown horse. I could canter around in the padock all day while my mane is swishing in the cool summer air. I wouldn't have to brush my fur and when some one is annoying me I could buck them in the head!!!

And the last cool thing about being a horse is that in the summer I can run around with all of the sweet little wild bunnies.

The bad thing about being a horse is that during the freezing cold winter I can't go into someone's nice warm home with a warm cup of hot milo and sit right beside the burning hot fire. I would also have to pull lots of heavy carts, but then I can win first place in a world cup horse race!!!

Cartooning!



Here is some of our cartooning we have started in class. We have been learning about using different dialogue bubbles to give our characters effect.
We were given the challenge of placing one of the characters from the Wizard of OZ into a different world from the world that they know.

Here the Tin-Man is enjoying the sun!
