Upon emptying out my daughter's backpack the other day, I found the following essay:
=====
Time to Camouflage!
Do you like to camouflage yourself? Then to know how animals disguise themselves, this essay is for you. First insects up to mammals use camouflage to eat and hide. For example, walking stick looks like a twig. A crab looks like the ocean floor by dressing itself with bits of rock. The crab looks as if it's the ocean floor. A flounder hides to eat. These are ways of camouflage. A caterpillar defense is blending in. The daggermoth hides as it eats a leaf. When it eats a certain portion is eaten, it eats the stick. A horned lizard blends in with the gravel to catch ants. These are all ways of camouflage for animals as a defense mechanism.

I scanned my pookie-headed pixie's essay and asked her about the class project that prompted it. She told me a bit about school that day, and then volunteered the following:
"I decided the title needed to change from 'Aria's Essay' to something more appropriate. I also added a hook to the beginning because it needed a little something."
My baby is growing up so fast! It's impossible that she's 9 since she just left my womb last month. Not that I'm in denial or anything...
