    Dear Journey North,

    Thank you for all the opportunities you provide. Please consider the names that we are suggesting for some of the whales. A small group of 3rd grade students had a great time thinking and brainstorming ideas. Here are the names that we came up with:

    0018 - We thought that "14" would be a good name because the scratches on the left fluke look like the number 14.

    Fan's Calf - We thought "X-Wing" would be a good name. It looks like a Star Wars' Space Ship and it has an "X" near the edge of the fluke.

    0023 - We thought that "Penguin" was a good name because the pattern on each fluke looks like a penguin. There is an eye and a beak near the tip of each fluke and he white pattern looks like the body of a penguin.

    Palettes Calf - We thought that "Minnesota" was a good name for this one. It has a big black shape near the edge of the left fluke that looks like the shape of Minnesota, our home state.

    Inland's Calf - We thought that "Leopard" would be a good name for this whale because of all the black spots all over the flukes.

    Bungee's Calf - We thought that "Alien" would be a good name for this whale. The scratches on the right fluke look like the face of an alien with its mouth open.

    0006 - We thought that "V" would be a good name for this one. It has a "V" shaped scratch on the edge of the right fluke.
    Pepper's Calf - We thought "Rifle" might be a good name for this one. On the right fluke is a scratch that looks like a rifle.

    Foggy's Calf - We thought that "Astonish" might work for this one. The marks on the left fluke look like marks to show surprise or astonishment that you see in pictures in books.
    We had a great time.
    Sincerely,
