• This week we were curious about why flamingos are pink.  (KN)  We got a magazine in the mail and it had flamingos in it so we started talking about their color.  (Miss D.)
• We learned these facts about flamingos:  1.   In the olden days some countries used to eat flamingo tongues. (SS) 2.  Their feathers turn a pinkish-orangish color by eating shrimp and algae. (ES)  3.  In zoos, flamingos are given a chemical to eat which helps make them even pinker.  This is the same chemical that salmon fishers use to make salmon such a pretty color.  (Miss D.)  4.  Today Miss Dineen and KD both wore a pinkish-orangish color just like they were flamingos!!!!  (CC)  5.  Some people have tried taking those pink chemical pills, but instead of making them tan, they started to turn orange!  (RM)
