We should give it a teddy bear for Earth Day (its birthday).
I bet it feels better with its night lights (the stars).
I'm guessing Earth's fireplace (sun) reminds it of home.
Maybe Earth's continents are its blanket so it falls asleep without bad dreams.
Probably Earth's oceans are its glass of water at night when its thirsty.

The Bald Eagle puffs out his chest and spreads his wings
to show he is proud of being the national bird.

I suppose that they are two-times as strong as sumo wrestlers.

They can give you enough knowledge to blow up your brain.

By Gabrielle, Megan and Ellana
I wonder why there are stars in the sky.
I suppose they stars are angels floating in the sky watching us.

The angels crowd around God who is the moon to hear his good news.

By Lincoln and Matthew

I suppose yes, because the live like kings and queens.

They probably are enchanted with love by receiving gifts.
Dogs are loved with everyone's hearts, so they definitely love being pets.
