Today I was reading a book. It told me that in 2004, scientists found a glow-in-the-dark giant squid in the Pacific Ocean near Japan. They figured out that the squid uses its bright lights to dazzle and catch its prey. It makes me think of my glow-in-the-dark ghost pez!

Fraction Frenzy
Today I was reading one of my mom's cookbooks. And I asked her what one of the signs was. It looked like a number and a slash and a number. She explained with a pizza.
She said if we we make it into two pieces, and we take one half, it makes a fraction that shows 1/2. The bottom number is the total number of pieces. The top number is how many you take away. So if we make 8 pieces of a pie, and take away 2, the fraction would be 2/8. And this does not work if the pieces are not all the same size.
Now I'm gonna go play fractions.
**Conner's mom sneaking on here now...here's the fractions he wrote and drew while he was reading the cookbook some more and "playing fractions." :)
