My pet lizard died. I don't understand why. I did everyĹhing right. Izzy had a safe home. Izzy had clean water. Izzy had plenty of food. But he died. My dad said sometimes bad things happen, even when you do everything right. I understood what my dad told me. But I still felt bad. My mom said there were things I could do to help me feel better. She said some people make cards and then color them with bright colors. My dad said some people write a letter when they lose a friend. The letter tells about the good times they had together. He said I could write about how Izzy saĹ on my shoulder when I did my homework. He said I might share how Izzy loved to eat green beans. My grandmother said that some people go to a church or another place of worship. My mom said that some people light candles and pray. She said other people put flowers next to a photo of their friend. My dad said that whatever I did to remember Izzy would help me feel less sad. Mom added that in time I would feel much better. But she also said I might feel sad again some days along the way. I chose to make Izzy a card. I drew Izzy with a smile. I drew a big heart because I loved him. I wrote that I missed him. I wrote that I would remember him. Tomorrow we will bury Izzy. I chose a special place in the backyard. It is next to a clump of flowers. I will put his favorite rock there. I will put my card there, too. My dad was right. I do feel a little bit better. I will always miss Izzy, but I won't ever forget the good times we had together.How can amendments to the Constitution be proposed? Congress may propose an amendment by a vote of at least two-thirds of each house of Congress.

An amendment may be approved by the legislatures in at least three-fourths of the states. An amendment may be ratified by special conventions in at least three-fourths of the states. Once an amendment is approved, it becomes part of the Constitution. How many amendments have been made to the Constitution? What were the first ten called? Why were so many approved right away? Only 27 have been approved. The first 10 amendments were added almost immediately after the Constitution was ratified.

Dia for MarĂa Ratona was a cat named Mouse. She was small and gray, and had a tiny squeaky meow. She liked to sit in a hole in the shed wall. Ratona lived for a long time. Eight months ago, she died. I'm not sad anymore, but I think about her often. One day, MamĂĄ was setting up TĂa Teresa's ofrenda, a special altar, for Day of the Dead. Teresa passed away when I was a baby. "MamĂĄ, can we celebrate pets?" I asked. "This is mostly for family, though I suppose Ratona was part of ours," MamĂĄ said. "We can celebrate her the day before," I suggested. Later, MamĂĄ and I went to the market in Puebla. We got paper banners, sugar skulls, and marigolds. On October 31, my friends came over. Adriana brought her dog, Sal. or Salt. She had a photo of Sal's sister, Pimienta, or Pepper, who died last summer. Gloria had a picture of RaĂşl the rooster, a pet she had lost. We set up the banners, marigolds. and photos where Ratona used to sit. "Once, Pimienta stole a pound of cheese from our cooler. She got into the trash and ate it later! I have cheese for Pimienta," Adriana said. "My mother makes pumpkin seeds for my great-grandfather's ofrenda. RaĂşl jumped up and ate them! My mother was so mad. I brought some for RaĂşl," Gloria said. "If someone had ice cream, Ratona went Squeak! Squeak! until you let her lick the bowl. I have ice cream for Ratona," I said. I gave Adriana and Gloria sugar skulls before they left. I thought about funny little Ratona. On the last day of celebrations, my family walked to the graveyard. Everyone from the area came. There were fireworks and even a band. TĂa Teresa's gravestone was piled with flowers, sweet bread, and candles. MamĂĄ smiled to herself. "One day, MarĂa, your TĂa Teresa heard a tiny squeak coming from the grass. It was a little gray kitten. Teresa named her Ratona," MamĂĄ said. She continued, "When Teresa died, I took Ratona. You loved her right away. You reminded me of Teresa." Everyone was laughing and dancing. I was too young to remember TĂa Teresa, but we had both loved Ratona. That made me happy. MamĂĄ took my hand. "I think it's time to dance!" she said.
