Dreamtime 2011: Hello! My name is Dylon...

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Hello! My name is Dylon...

Hi,

My name is Dylon and I'm in Mr. Thompson's class. I'm 10...turning 11 in May. We are learning about careers and Australia. My first question is....Has the population of kangaroos in Australia gone up or down? My second question is...Do people live a whole different life-style than we do here in America? Those are my questions. How long is it going to take to get there on an airplane? Hope you can answer my questions and have a good trip!

Sincerely,

Dylon
