ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteYou sure know a lot about whales. Thank you for sharing this news. I am a grandpa of a 1st grade girl. Her name is Scarlett. I will certainly tell her everything you taught me about whales. Keep up the good work.

Wow, Emily! I am impressed. You have learned so much about whales. Did you know blue whales can hold their breath under water for one to two hours? Amazing! Keep up the great work.

Emily,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! You should be so proud of yourself.
Whales are one of my favorite animals. If you come San Diego, there are many places that we could go to either see whales or learn more about them.
I am glad to see that you are doing so well in school!

Hi Emily;
ReplyDeleteI am learning a lot by reading your blog about whales, thank you for writing it. I live in Salem, Oregon, but when I was a kid I lived in Rhode Island. That's on the East Coast near the ocean, so there are whales there too. One time a type of whale called a "Pilot Whale" swam all the way from the ocean to the city of Providence! That was a trip of about 40 miles!
Keep up the great work!
Emily,
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I am impressed by how much you and your classmates are learning about whales. Can you tell me more about a fluke? I am not familiar with that word? What does it mean and how does it relate to sea mammals like whales?
Mr. Wood
Mr Wood,
DeleteThank you for the reply. A fluke is one of the parts of whales tail.
Emily,
ReplyDeleteYou have learned so much about whales. A few year ago, I taught my class about whales but there is something you that I don't remember and maybe you can tell me. Do whales prefer the warmer or colder ocean water? I hope you can tell me.

Mrs. Torres,
ReplyDeleteI think that some whales like cold water and some like warm water.
Thanks,

Emily,
ReplyDeleteI read your blog and would like to add- there are 2 blow holes in blue whales
