That was amazing. My favorite fact is that he won the Stanley Cup 4 times with the Edmonton Oilers. The index is my favorite text feature because it tells you where I can read about Wayne winning the Stanley Cup.

One fact I learned from this book is about flooding. The Nile River floods once a year. The Egyptians made up a story about the goddess, Isis. They said that she would get so sad that she would cry into the river and make it flood. <br />In this book, there is a caption that describes the picture of a person crying into a river. A <b>caption</b> is a text feature that tells about a picture. I also like the <b>subheadings</b> because they describe what I will read. In this section, What happens in a flood?, the subheadings are, "Sometimes a lot of rain falls in a few hours", "Did Noah build an ark?", and "Can there be a flood in a desert?". These text features help people understand what they are reading.<br /><br />See y'all later,<br />TuckerTuckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-19826326724821426332011-05-19T18:00:54.675-07:002011-05-19T18:00:54.675-07:00Howdy Sheriffs,

My favorite text feature is captions and pictures.<br /><br />I like captions because they tell <b>y'all</b> about the pictures.

I love the caption because it tells you what the picture is about.<br /><br />About a month ago in Mrs. Yollis' class, we did a biography as a big project. Some examples of historic people that some people chose were: Leonardo Da Vinci, Ronald Reagan, Sandra Day O'Connor, and Sally Ride.<br /><br />I was lucky enough to choose Neil Armstrong. One fact that I learned about him is that his historic flight to the moon was seven days after my birthday.(Flight: July 24 1969.)<br /><br /><br />In my book there were many captions. In one caption there was a picture of the moon. Under it, it said: "Close up of the moon."<br /><br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Deputy Iman<br />(Mrs. Yollis' class)Deputy Imannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-10972696553604162682011-05-19T16:02:10.150-07:002011-05-19T16:02:10.150-07:00Dear Sheriffs,

The book I have in my saddle bag is called <i>Fifty-three and a Half Things that Changed the World</i>. I've learned so many things, but there's one that I think is funny. In 1849, someone tried to invent the saftey pin, but failed. Their safety pin didn't work because the needle would not lock. My favorite text feature was the <b>photos</b> because it really gave me an idea what the invention looked like. Sometimes when there's only writing, it is confusing, so the photos are a really big help.<br /><br />See 'ya around,<br />Cowboy Ryan(Mrs. Yollis' student)Cowboy Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-47084246802335652242011-05-19T06:18:29.280-07:002011-05-19T06:18:29.280-07:00Hello from Iowa.

One part in a nonfiction book is the caption. The caption tells us what is important in a picture or a diagram.

One of the nonfiction books I am reading right now is about Leopard Geckos. They have fat tails that they store all of their food in. They grow to be 8 inches long. It takes 6 months for the Leopard Gecko egg to hatch. Some people might like to have a Leopard Gecko as a pet, like me.<br />My favorite kind of nonfiction books are about animals because I think it is interesting to learn how they grow and live, and what their diet is. I hope I find a book about badgers in the library someday.<br /><br />From, <br />GraysonGraysonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-12981274088152083512011-05-18T20:11:17.175-07:002011-05-18T20:11:17.175-07:00Howdy Sheriff Salsich and Sheriff Yollis,

I learned many interesting facts about the orchestra and the instruments that play in an orchestra. One of the instruments in the woodwind family is a Double Bassoon. The double bassoon is so long that it is folded over twice. The double bassoon's notes are the lowest in the whole orchestra.<br /><br />One text feature that I saw in the book was that every new vocabulary word such as double basson is written in all capital letters. <br /><br />From,<br />Miriam<br />(Yollis)Miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-38694695413852917282011-05-18T19:56:51.981-07:002011-05-18T19:56:51.981-07:00Dear Sheriff's,

I think that the videos are really fun to watch too, because the are very entertaining, but educational at the same time.<br /><br />My favorite text feature in books are the photographs. I like them because when you are trying to imagine what people are looking like or something like that, you can look at the picture a see. I prefer only pictures on a few pages because I like to think about it also.<br /><br />Also, I love the text feature of captions. Captions are located under the photographs on the page mostly.

My favorite one though is the table of contents. It tells you the chapters in the book and gives you the page that it starts on.<br /><br />I learned a lot of facts in this book.

In fact, the continents move a little every year, about one and a half inches!<br /><br />The shortest river in the world is D River in Oregon. It is only 121 feet long!<br /><br />The highest mountain in the world from base to peak is not Mt Everest, it is actually Mauna Kea!

I learned many very interesting facts about him, while already knowing that he was the 40-th president of the U.S.A. He was the 33rd governor of California. Also, he was an actor. If he were still alive he would be 100 years old! He was born on February 6. If he would be 100 years old if he was still alive, what year was he born in?

I thoroughly enjoyed your non- fiction video. That sure was a bulls eye, Sheriff Yollis and Sheriff Salsich! <br /><br />I just recently read a humdinger of a book called "Leonardo da Vinci: Young Artist, Writer, and Inventor." It is a biography about Leonardo da Vinci. It also is about some of the paintings that he painted and some of the inventions that he made. I learned that Leonardo da Vinci painted a various amount of famous paintings that are now found in the Louvre in France. I also discovered that he made an invention called The Flying Machine. Sadly, Leonardo wasn't successful with The Flying Machine, and it crash-landed and broke. :( <br /><br />My favorite text feature of the book is the table of contents. Although, that was my only choice anyway, because the biography had no pictures, no index, and it ain't had anything else.<br /><br />What is your favorite texture? <br /><br />What book are y'all readin' right know?<br /><br />Yee- haw!<br /><br />See y'all later,<br />Deputy Sheriff Adia<br />in Sheriff Yollis' classDeputy Adiahttp://adiasbabbleblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-56256229575046548722011-05-17T15:47:06.317-07:002011-05-17T15:47:06.317-07:00Howdy Sheriff Salsich and Sheriff Yollis,

Also, a penguin can dive down to 1,750 feet in the water. We got that information from a chart that had a seal, a penguin, and a whale in it. Oh!
