My name is Melissa Sells. I have a big family, I have 3 siblings. They are all younger sisters. They can be fun at times but the do get annoying. My parents are divorced I have a stepmom and a stepdad. Sometimes I don't like going back and forth but I have to. My dad is a truck driver and I don't get to see him as often as I like. I am mostly at home with my stepmom or at one of my practices or I could be with friends. I usually don't get to see my mom because I don't live with her. My school life is fun. I run track and play volleyball and I am a wrestling stat I also play softball I am usually # 19 Destiny is my softball buddie, I practice softball with Destiny alot:)We live close to each other so we see each other all the time I am either at her house or she is at mine :) Another softball buddie is Andrea Kirker....... she is one of my best friends:) My friends are very beastly lol :] My best friend is Destiny Mccoy. I know she will always be there for me. But I always have alot of fun outside of school to. I usually walk around with friends. We have lots of fun together. We love to take pictures too. I have lots of friends but those are the main 2. In the summer I go to Forest Hill with Destiny:) I am also going to West Virginia this summer:) I can't wait. I am very well known around Ohio. I have lived almost everywhere. My family lives mostly in Coshocton. But I don't get to see my mom's side as much as my dad's. But most of the time I love my life and thankful for what I have. And I always love to have new friends;) Also another one of my crazy friends is Bryse Gilmore she is the craziest one ever....... she will always make you laugh she is like a sister to me because I have known her since I was a baby.

This picture remindes me of me because it has thick hair like I do and most of it's hair is brown and so is mine. This is why I choose this picture.

I am doing this for science and language arts. I am in the deciduous forest. I think I am going to have fun with this.

​ Animals:
 * Animals that hibernate protect themselves against the cold and reduce their need for food.http://www.vtaide.com/png/temperateBiomes.htm
 * An adaptation some animals have adopted is food storage. []
 * While a wide variety of birds migrate, many of the mammals hibernate during the cold winter months when food is in short supply.http://www.rbcarlton.com/forestadaptations.htm
 * The animals either migrate, hibernate or find other ways to protect them from winter. (deciduous forest book.)

Plants:
 * Summer is a busy time for deciduous trees, their broad leaves capture energy from the sun and convert it to food by photosynthesis. http://www.mbgnet.net/sets/temp/whats.htm
 * Plants also make a concentrated sugar solution to stop water from freezing in their stems.http://www.mbgnet.net/sets/temp/whats.htm
 * To prepare for winter they loose their leaves and seal the places where leaves were attached with a protective covering called a leaf scar. []
 * During the shorter days and cooler weather of autumn, green chlorophyll in the leaves begins to decompose, revealing brilliant oranges, yellows, and reds.http://www.mbgnet.net/sets/temp/whats.htm

Climate:
 * The latitude is rage is aywhere from 23 degrese to 38 degrese south. []
 * There are 4 seasons in the deciduous forest (spring, summer, winter, fall).
 * There are 30 to 60 inches of rain a year. []
 * **//Temperature//** varies from -30° C to 30° C.http://www.rbcarlton.com/deciduous.htm
