Did You Know!!!!

Hi Everyone,
Not much has been going on lately. So, I decide I would blog this post. Today, I was reading my Science book. Did you know that the woodpecker’s tongue does not connect to the back of its throat like most birds but connects to the top of its head? Did you know that the woodpecker also has a tissue between its head and its beak that acts like a little shock absorber which most birds do not have. The reason it has the little shock absorber is so that the woodpecker can peck a tree for hours without getting a headache. Also, the woodpecker has 4 toes. What's so cool about that you might ask. Well, 2 of its toes point forward and 2 point backward that is what allows the woodpecker to climb trees while other birds have to sit on a tree branches. Also, did you know that the male Emperor Penguin travels up to 90 miles to fine a mate. When the female lays her egg, the male takes the egg from her and the female goes away for 2 months to eat. When she comes back, she feeds her chicks a half digest fish and then the male goes away to eat. Then he comes back and feeds the chick. The mother and father penguins keep doing this until the chick is able to find food for itself. Did you know that the Empire Penguin is able to spot its mate and chick out of hundreds of penguins? In both of these animals, we can see 2 of God’s amazing creations. So uniquely designed in its on special way that only God could make them all. I am so glad God made us in His on image.

"Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."" Genesis 1:26

But there are 19 teams ahead of Flat Andrew. We will keep checking on our teams. My Mom and I will be posting more on our blogs.

Hosting A Flat Person

Three days ago, when we got the mail, we found out that we would be hosting a flat person. The flat person's name is Flat Timothy. He is 7 years old and is from Florida. So far, we have showed Flat Timothy the Go-Cart and he has a bed in Andrew's Room. Hopefully, we will be able to do more with Flat Timothy before he leaves.
