Student Blogger: Colin

Colin and his first grade friends got to feel how blubber keeps whales warm in cold temperatures!
First, I learned that whales migrate when it’s too cold in Antarctica even though they have blubber. They move to a warm place so they won’t get too cold.
Then, I learned that blue whales weigh about 150 tons! Blue whales are my favorite whales because they swallow almost everything.
Next, I learned Orca whales can weigh 12,000 pounds!  The orca whale in the book “Sea Life” said “I am an orca whale.  Some people call me killer whale.”
Finally, I learned whales eat fish and seals.  Leopard seals eat penguins! Penguins eat fish, squid and eels.

Love,
Colin

  1. Dear Colin,
    I like how you used sequence words, like "first," "next," and "finally" to organize your writing! Where did you learn what penguins eat?

    Whales eat seals!?!? Yikes. I had no idea. What did you do during the blubber experiment? What did it feel like?

    1. Dear Mr. Wood,
      During the blubber experiment I put my hand in the cold water and of course it was cold. Then I put my other hand in the blubber then I put the blubber hand in the water and it felt like nothing.
      Sincerely,
      Colin

    I liked how you used first, then next and finally and I like how you used blubber and 12,000 pounds in describing whales.
