Furby-Look-Alike

Who- Scientists working on the island
What- "Long- Lost Furby -Look- Alike." This creature looks just like Furby! Furby was a popular "electronic toy" in "the late 1990s." This "Furby-Look-Alike" can "fit snugly in one hand", and is most likely really soft since it is claimed to be a "fur ball!"
Where- Lore Lindu National Park on the Indonesian island
When- Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Why- The scientists found it because they were on the island.

In my opinion I think that this "Furby-Look-Alike" is really cool! It seems like an awesome pet. Forget about plastic toys this is real! I would love to have one. I've always wanted a Furby but this one is even better. Overall, I think that the "Furby-Look-Alike" is a great discovery and I hope that they can be sold as pets if more are found. It would be so cool to have an animal as a pet that "many scientists" thought were "extinct!"

Smart Board

In science class we have something called a Smart Board. It is easy to use and is super fun.

Three Interesting Facts Are...
* You can type on the Smart Board.
* It is interactive
* You can erase and write with the special markers

In my opinion the Smart Board is really cool. I love drawing and playing games on it. The Smart Board makes our science classes easier because now we don't have to stare at a small television screen. I always enjoy watching the interactive food webs move on the screen and playing the Wii with my classmates. Overall, I think the Smart Board is awesome and it makes learning fun.
