(I couldn't find the paper,so I'm putting my story on the blog)My favorite animal is the dolphin.I like dolphins because they are very smart,and good at figuring things out,as shown in training. Another thing I like about dolphins is they are trained very often and also given more tests on smartness than most animals.I also admire that they are one of the animals that needs air to breath but evolived to be sumerged in water.
ReplyDeleteMs. Okimoto- Do we need to make sentences for all 42 definitions?
ReplyDeleteHey Riley--you need to use all 42 words, but you can include more than one in a sentence. The words are all math related so it should be easy to combine words into sentence. Underline your words too, please! :)
