Below is a video about how animals adapt to survive.
What is an example of people or other animals adapting that you have seen in your lifetime?
Right now my dog, Max, is going through an adaptation that a lot of other dogs go through as well. Max is shedding his fur like crazy. There is dog hair everywhere! Max sheds his winter coat to get ready for the warmer weather in spring and summer. The spring coat is also much lighter fur compared to his winter coat. This adaptation allows Max to be more comfortable in the hot months of June, July, etc. I am glad this adaption only happens twice a year, otherwise I might become a giant fur ball!

Overcoming Obstacles
This week we read "Tripping over the Lunch Lady" and discussed how one can overcome obstacles. Your assignment is to tell about a time you had to overcome an obstacle. Put thought into your response and make sure to proofread your responses. Below is an example of a time I, personally, had to overcome an obstacle.
Last summer I went on a cruise to Alaska with some friends and family. During one of the stops on the cruise we went rock climbing and rappelling down a 60 foot cliff. I was face to face with my fear of heights! I wanted to overcome this obstacle and make the trip memorable. All I could do as I was shaking on the side of this giant cliff was tell myself I would be ok, even though I was really petrified. At one point I even fell UPSIDE DOWN while rappelling down the cliff!!! Thank goodness for my harness and trained tour guides. Through determination, persistence (AW!), and supportive friends and family I was able to conquer (AW!) my obstacle of heights.
