Journal entry 209--Memories

Describe a childhood memory.


My best friend growing up had a little pond in the front of her house. This pond attracted many frogs and tadpoles so we decided to catch them and keep them as pets. It was great watching the tadpoles turn into frogs and then have a bunch of frogs as pets. My mother wasn't too happy with that. But I was and ended up with 10 little frogs. To feed them, we would place a plastic bowl with honey inside it and leave it outside to collect ants. Once the bowl was filled with captive ants, I put the lid on and left the bowl in the freezer. The ants froze and came out of the honey easily for the frogs to eat. They were happy little guys.

Journal entry 110--Clever

Write about something clever you came up with on your own that helped you solve a problem.

When I was younger, I had small frogs as pets. I was never quite sure what to feed these frogs because it was the first time I had pet frogs and they were so tiny. I figured if I put a bit of honey in the bottom of a plastic bowl and place the bowl outside, I could collect tons of ants. And I did! Once the bowl was fill with ants stuck in the honey, I quickly sealed the lid on the bowl and placed it in the freezer. After a short time, the ants would of course, freeze and I could then knock them into the frog terrarium. Some of the ants would start moving as they defrosted, and the frogs would have their supper.
