Not so long ago, Passenger Pigeons were killed off by people.  They were very numerous but the last pigeon died in captivity.  So, scientists are using Passenger Pigeon DNA and Longtail Pigeon eggs to bring them back!  They are being recreated with Passenger Pigeon DNA!  People know that it is like Jurassic Park but there is no dinosaur DNA.

                               Dear G ‘n’ G!

Dear G ‘n’ G,

I am not organized. My desk is always messy. How can I make time to clean it with such a busy schedule? -Chris P.

Dear Chris,

Ask your teacher if you can take some time out of 1st recess to clean it. I know it may seem terrible, but it’s really not. And don’t just throw stuff in your desk, it’s not a race. Instead, take the time to put it away neatly. And when you’re cleaning out your desk, throw away stuff you don’t need. Remember, don’t be a hoarder!

-G ‘n’ G
