Snakes: Pit Vipers

Have you ever seen a creepy-crawly like this? I haven't,these species are highly toxic. Their fangs fold to the roof of their mouth when NOT striking.Their fangs are hollow,long, and erectile! Their scales are often found as brown,black, or white. The Pit Vipers have developed a special organs of heat reception. This helps them tell if that animal is warm-blooded. These amazing slithering creatures are found in North and South America, and Asia. There are no Pit Vipers in Alaska,Delaware,Hawaii, and Maine. Pit vipers have rattles just like rattlesnakes.Pit Vipers are very dangerous creatures and have fatal venom! I hope you have learned a lot about Pit Vipers! Have an awesome summer!

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

Today I saw Kit Kittredge an American girl movie. It was an adventurous story that any girl would enjoy. Kit is a 10 year old year that lives in the 1930s' also when The Great Depression happened. In this movie, Kit enjoys writing articles on her typewriter. Every day, when her father comes home she gives the articles to her father when he gets home from work. Kit hopes to become a news reporter. Kit's older brother Charlie went away to find work to send money back home to help. He joined a group called the "CCC", it helps build roads and construction work. One of Kits Best friends is Ruthie Smithens. Her father owns the bank in Cincinnati, Ohio.
During the movie, Kits mother decides to take in borders for money. They help around the house and get to sleep there. Along with the borders comes two hobos, Will and County. They help around the house and are good friends of Kits. You would think that County is a little boy in the movie but at the end, Will shows County is a little girl. Will pretended that County was a boy for protection. In this movie their is a robbery by someone, but you'll have to watch the movie to find out! Kit Kitterdge: An American Girl is a great historical movie, you learn about why they would save everything they have and all sorts of stuff about the 1930s'. If you have seen the other two American Girl movies, you'll be sure to love this one too! Have fun this summer!
