Unique Creatures!

 Hi Everyone!

Today I am writing about an octopus.  I think that they are very interesting creatures and I hope that you do too!  

The underwater city.  Scientists were studying the water and they found an underwater city.  They think that an octopus built it so that they will not get eaten by sharks and dophins.  Their city is built out of other meals like the shells of crabs.   One reason for these underwater towns may be that there is a food supply nearby. However, as with humans, octopus city life is not perfect. The animals continually try to chase one another out of each other’s dens.

Facts about the octopus form.  An octopus can change shapes to look like everyday objects. For example, an octopus can make itself look like plants and rocks/ stones.  It can also change its color to match the surrounding area.   One fun fact about an octopus is that when it is hungry it will change into a crab, that way it can get closer to the food to eat it.  These are some of the things that I think are cool about being able to change shapes and their color.

Other fun facts about the octopus:  Something cool is that an octopus does not like to be a pet.  If you try to keep it as a pet, it will try to escape and get back to the water. It will also be hard to find it if it is still there because it will blend in.  

What is one new fact that you learned today about this unique creature and what makes you unique or special?  Let me know in the comments box below, and keep being unique in this magical world. 


I got the information off of By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff.  If you would like to read more about these creatures go to http://newsela.com.

    Great information and writing. I did not know an octopus could camouflage itself. I found this writing very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

      I love octopus! I feel sad in learning that they don't like to be made pets. I remember being at a zoo and enjoying the octopus behind the glass. Now, I wonder if he was happy.

    Connie says: I didn't know that an octopus can change it's shape! This was very interesting and I enjoyed reading it. What makes me unique? I think my sense of humor and my ability to get along with almost everyone make me unique.

Nice thing that someone did.

I have a 6 year old brother and when he grows up he wants to be a police officer.  One day my brother was reading a book.  (The book was for school.) The book  was about police officers. My grandmother knows someone who is a police officer.  The police officer bought her old house when she moved. She messaged him to ask if he would come over to my grandma's house and let my brother ask him  a few questions.  He messaged back and said “Sure I do not mind. I will stop by.”  My brother was so happy he talked about it 24/7. He did it for a week until he came.  The police man came over in his police car.  The policeman let my brother get into the car.  He even turned on the sirens to show him them.  My brother got out of the car and asked a few  questions.   Here are a few of the questions that he asked the police.  He asked how did you become a police officer? The police officer said “I had to go through a lot of training.”  Another thing that he asked is “How did you get your uniform?

A Little About Me

  HI everyone, today I am going to write about me.  I got a lot of people who would like to know a little more about me. Things about me.  I am a 13 year old girl.  I like a lot of sports and I love art.  Another thing I like to do is dance.  I also like to play outside and play with my family. I like many sports, I really liked basketball.  When I was a little girl I could not make a basket.  I kept trying to make a basket and I kept failing.  One day I ended up making a basket.  I like to play in the gym.  Another sport that I like is soccer.  I am really good at it and I like how I can play with all my friends.  When you are with your friends then that makes things so much better.  Another sport that I like is street hockey, but I like almost all sports.  I like art.  I started art class in 4 grade.  I loved it.  One of the first things that I made was a mask out of paper mache.  My teacher let me put it in an art contest because she thought it was that good. I was sad but th

Nice Thing That People Did

     Today I am going to write about two people who have done some nice things for the children.  One of them is my friend who is around 13 years old who does donations for children in need at the Syracuse Hospital.  Another one is going to try to help in a haunted house so that she can raise money for local children.         My friend last year donated donuts to the Syracuse Hospital for the children. She even got a message from one of the children who said that he was so happy to get the donuts.  My friend was happy that she could make his day a lot better with just one little donation.  So even the tiniest donation could make a huge difference.        Another person was volunteering to do a haunted house to help raise money for local children. In my opinion, it is nice for people to do nice things.  Some people do not have a lot of money, so they need your help to raise money and help the people that are in need.       I hope that you can keep up the good work, and do not forget to
