What animal makes those sounds? Bunnies!!!!!!

My class teacher brings bunnies to class. Thumper, Bandit, Momo, and Appa. They are the cutest things ever!!!! There are so many things that you and I should know about rabbits. Did you know that the biggest bunny ever recorded is 23 pounds? He is from Germany and his name is Robert. He is huge!

I am being an INQUIRER!  I LOVE to research information on animals; especially rabbits! Kids in our class even borrow rabbit books from our school library. Then our teacher reads them to us before we end the day.

Now, let’s get serious. Rabbit care is a pretty serious thing. You need to take great care of pets and animals. You need to showcase the IB Attitude, RESPECT. You need to RESPECT other people and living things which include rabbits and other animals. 

Rabbits need to be carried properly. Some rabbits don't even like being carried. So you must be very gentle especially with big bunnies that could hurt you. You must carry him like a baby close to your chest. When I say close I mean that the rabbit should be able to hear and feel your heartbeat.
