Book Review
Freddy in Peril
by Dietlof Reiche
    This book is about Freddy the golden hamster. Freddy is no ordinary hamster. He can read and type on the computer! Freddy typed his life story on the internet not knowing what could happen. One day an evil scientist finds Freddy's story and figures out that Freddy is a hamster. The bad thing is that the scientist does experiments on live golden hamster brains! While Freddy's owner is on vacation, the scientist tracks Freddy down and takes him to a secret lab. Is this the last chapter of Freddy's life story?
     To find out, read the book!
What Goes Crunch!
Fall leaves under foot ,
A big bite of carrot,
Sweet Apple Crisp ganola bars,
        Go Crunch!

A big spoonful of cereal without milk,
Pasta right out of the box,
Walking on the beach over shells,
        Go Crunch!

A bird at my birdfeeder eating birdseed,
Eating crisp green salad,
Stepping on plastic cups,
A huge, juicy bite of apple,
        Go Crunch!

Let's say you were playing a game of Monopoly and you just passed "Go" and landed on the Income Tax square. You counted up everything you had and found that you had property worth $760 and you had $834 in cash. Would it be better to pay the standard $200 or to pay 10% of your worth?

Answer will be in next month's website.

This month I have some balancing challenges.  Do you know what a frog stand is? To do a frog stand you put your hands down on the ground then put your knees resting on your arms right on your elbows. Make sure your feet do not touch the ground.(See the picture on the left) See if you can hold it for at least 5 seconds.
The other balancing challenge is the stork stand. First go on you tiptoes and then lift one foot up to your knee. See how long you can balance.
