Mathemagician’s Personal Rock
My rock is yellow, grey, black, and brown. It looks like a piece of pizza in its shape. It is 7 centimeters long and 3 wide. It has holes in it. I think it might be carbonatite, which is a kind of igneous rock. That means it used to be inside a volcano. It came outside of a volcano as lava and cooled.
Here I am at Lake Champlain exploring more rocks!

Bunnies, chapter 5: How to Feed and Water Your Bunny
Get a bunny waterer, and make sure it always has water in it. You need to check it twice a day and make sure it has water in it at all times. For feed, it’s the same, but you have to make sure the feed is full at all times.
Bunnies, chapter 4: How to Find the Right Prices
It depends on what kind of bunny it is. If it is a New Zealand White, a full grown bunny usually costs fifteen or twenty dollars.
Bunnies, chapter 3: How to Know If It’s a Boy or a Girl
Start off with a bunny. Flip over the bunny carefully, and look for a pink hole near it’s tail. This is its genitals. Stick your finger on the edge of it between the tail and the genitals. If one lump comes out, it is a boy. If two lumps come out, it is a girl.
Bunnies, chapter 2: The Right Cage for Your Bunny
It depends on what kind of bunny you have. If it is a New Zealand White (what I have), and if it is a girl, find the right amount of space and a nesting box.
Bunnies, chapter 1: How to Find the Right Bunny for You
You can find your bunny many different ways. For instance, I found the perfect bunny by observing it and making sure it was healthy. The last owner of my bunnies put two males together for a long time, and now one is dead. Also, find it in a color, size, fur length, and meat. Have fun!
Don’s Great Adventure on a Tuesday Morning
Once upon a time on a Tuesday morning, there was a duck. He was a very bored duck. His name was Don. Donald Duckling Burrogh to be exact.
He was swimming aimlessly down the river. He didn’t notice that he was swimming too far and lost sight of his mother.
“Oh, no! I’m lost!” he said.
Don tucked down beside some bushes.
Goose came along and asked him, “Where is your mother?”
Don replied, “I’m lost, and I can’t find her.”
“I can take you in until your mom finds you,” said Goose.
Don replied, “Thank you.”
Then for two days and a night he stayed over. Don’s mother finally found him She gave Goose a whole bag of fish!
Sewing in Math–Parabolic Curves
I learned that you can make lots of different designs with just a few nails, some string, and a board. Math is in it when you go from one at the top to one at the bottom, two at the top to two at the bottom, and then when you get to ten at the top and the bottom, it makes the curve.
