4.Your answer to Assignment #2 describes on e quality of your own niche. Describe other characteristics of your own niche, based on the general qualities listed in this lesson. Do you think your niche is narrow, mediium, or broad? Why?

My niche is broad. i have lived in many places and countries around the world my whole life. i have lives in wet places, tropics, dry places, almost every climate i have lived in. as long as i have a place to get veggies and fruits, and macaroni, =) hehe... i also need shelter, clothes, and my mom. maybe a tv and cellphone.

5. For this question, I have chosen option B, observing learned behavior. The activity I have chosen is to learn another language; French. My Mom will give me short daily lessons next week and I'll update my blog each day with my journal entries. I hope that I learn a lot next week in French! Au revoir!

miss you grey man


grey man is our outdoor kitty. he is like no other kitty in the world. he is sweet, cuddly, he loves to be scratched on his tummy, on his chin, and loves to eat and sleep. he is now missing, he has been gone for almost 1 month. i really hope he is in someones home being the grey man he is. if not, i hope he is in a snow cave being warm with a dead rabit head in front of him. i think he has a new family that he is living with but he has to come back .

Social Studies Lesson 20



1) Pick a research topic for a paper due at the end of Lesson 24. I chose Castles and Castle Life because castles have always been interesting to me. It will be cool if I can make a castle for part of this, too!



2) For this item, I listened to some Gregorian Chant CDs at Amazon. I thought they were really different than the music that I listen to. It was boring and did not sound very happy to me. I am glad I live at a time where there is different music to listen to. They all sang in unison which made it sound very uninviting.

Here's a picture we found on the Internet of a page out of a Gregorian chant songbook. I like the songs we sing in chorus much better than this!

I'm going to do the rest of my vocabulary words tomorrow...and work on my map and choose a project for item #5.

Goodnight!!!

Science Week 20 Family Tree Project

Today, my Mom and I worked on my family tree project. First, we looked at a family tree that my Mom's Grandma Lillian made 25 years ago. It was pretty cool. It went all the way back to 1638! Here's a picture of it...Then, I made my family tree. I went back to my great-grandparents. I wanted to try to fit it on just one sheet of paper. After looking at the other family tree, I found out they can get pretty big and complicated!

I'll be sending in my family tree with my next set of lessons. It was fun to do it. I learned there are a lot of different last names in my family tree than I knew before...Moskovita, Vernon, Larimer, Berg, Repko.

science lesson 21 questions 1-3

1) What is the difference between instinctive and learned behavior? Give an example of each that is not given in the text.


The difference between instinctive and learned behavior is that instinctive means when an animal know how to do something at birth. Learned behavior is when an animal has to be taught to do something.


An example of an instinctive behavior is when marsupials are born they go into their mother's pouches. This is what the wombat pictured below knows to do.








The second instinctive behavior is that whales swim to the surface when they are born so that they can breathe air.





An example of a learned behavior is teaching people to rollerblade.


For question #2, I'm listing everything I eat for 2 days and then I will determine if I am an herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. But, actually I already know, because I'm a vegetarian, which means I'm an herbivore...although I do eat dairy products sometimes, so I'm a sometime omnivore but NEVER a carnivore!!


3) Make a list of animals and categorize them according to their eating habits as herbivores, omnivores or carnivores. Please include yourself on this list


ME - Herbivore

Tiger - Carnivore

Great White Shark - Carnivore

Cow - Herbivore

Domestic Cat - Omnivore

Bears - Omnivores

Horse - Herbivore

Opposum - Omnivore

Giraffe - Herbivore

Gorillas - Omnivore

Elephant - Herbivore

Panda Bear - Herbivore

Koala Bear - Herbivore

Rabbit - Herbivore

Coyote - Omnivores

Deer - Herbivores
