# --description--

You see how we made all of your `button` elements bounce? We selected them with `$("button")`, then we added some CSS classes to them with `.addClass("animated bounce");`.

You just used jQuery's `.addClass()` function, which allows you to add classes to elements.

First, let's target your `div` elements with the class `well` by using the `$(".well")` selector.

Note that, just like with CSS declarations, you type a `.` before the class's name.

Then use jQuery's `.addClass()` function to add the classes `animated` and `shake`.

For example, you could make all the elements with the class `text-primary` shake by adding the following to your `document ready function`:

`$(".text-primary").addClass("animated shake");`

# --hints--

You should use the jQuery `addClass()` function to give the classes `animated` and `shake` to all your elements with the class `well`.

```js
assert($('.well').hasClass('animated') && $('.well').hasClass('shake'));
```

You should only use jQuery to add these classes to the element.

```js
assert(!code.match(/class\.\*animated/g));
```
