Like their tails and what they mean when they are in a certain position. And what happens when the pack gets too big. I never knew that they had to kick out a young wolf if the pack got too big I always thought that they killed them. I like what they do instead. I think it is so cool that they circle the prey and that the alfa wolf gives the signal to kill it. I also did not know that a wolf would try to join a new pack to get better food because a wolf on its own can not get hooved animals because they are too fast and too dangerous.;) Hi Athena, Thanks for writing. It seems that you have uncovered a lot of interesting information in your research. What I wonder is whether you would change any part of the research process. I urge you to pay close attention to your spelling and always proofread what you have written. Mrs. B. We found out a lot of things about wolves.

If we buy new books the books had to be reviewed by a editor and publisher so the facts must be true.The extention of the astronomy section would be good for the school so kids can just come to the library instead of searching the world wide web which on Google you could get over 1,000,000 results and could be a waste of time. Hi Eric C., We are going to buy new books on astronomy! We have a really good list created by other kids in library skills classes. They used amazon.com and MINERVA to find some great titles.  If you would like to make some suggestions, that would be super! Mrs. B.

These books are very informitive on space and facts. We suggest either you have them in the library or you should put them in the library. we have been researching more space,rockets etc… and we have found some new interesting books here they are (there are only 3), “1001 facts about Space”, “Earth and Space”, and “All About Space.” These books are very informitive on space and facts.

First we knew that NASA was would be good to look up so we did. we looked it up and found a book called, “Deep Space: The NASA Mission reports.” It is all about space and the trip that astronauts went through and about space when they got there. It is definetely something we would recomend for the Falmouth Middle School library. we found some quit interesting books for “space detectives”.

Three books are: Backyard ballistics, 50 rocket projects for the evil genius by Gavin D J Harper, Experimenting with model rockets: Teacher's guide (Great explorations in math and science) by Cary Ivan Sneider Marshall, what a great comment. I like the fact that you recognize that we find information in a variety of places. Sometimes the Internet is just what we need and then other times I like to hold a book in my hands. Thanks for the  book suggestions. I put in a few bits of punctuation to help me  find the titles more easily. Punctuation sure does help when we are trying to understand what someone has written.  Many people put one, or even two, spaces after a dot when writing a sentence.  It makes reading so much easier. I like your thinking Marshall - keep reading about space! Mrs. B. i think FMS library should use books and the internet because you can

These books have the information that this library could find useful. Hi Sean and Dane, thanks for your suggestions. I put them in list form so they would be easier to read. I hope that is ok with you. The last title sounds a bit unusual. I'll check to see what it is all about. We always check the reviews of books before we buy them. That's how we decide to buy new books without actually reading all of them. So, it's good to have helpers from our class to give us suggestions. Mrs. B.
