Formal Letter

Dear Mrs.Herrera,

    Our team in Mrs.Twenge's class researched classroom animals. They are good because you can learn more about the animals like what does it eat and there habitat. In our classroom, we could have an glass tree frog, which is an amphibian. We researched its habitat and behavior. We learned that the glass tree frog glows in the dark and during the day you can see through it. For instance, the glass tree frog's lifespan of usually between 10 and 14 years in the wild. The glass tree frog eats smaller insects like spiters and flies. For example, it likes smaller spiters. It eats 6 times per day. It needs water and trees for its housing. In addition, the temperature should be the forest temperature.

To make sure it stays safe, we must take care of it. Food and housing for one year will cost $342.98. We could learn many things from keeping a classroom pet. I recommend us getting a(n) glass tree frog because it see through its body and lrean many more about them.

                                                                                                             Sincerely,
                                                                                                              Michelle Perez
