We introduced the map of Africa and began speaking about some of the magnificent animals that populate that continent. Did you know that the largest desert in the world is located in Africa? It is the Sahara Desert and it takes up as much room as the entire United States!
We are learning about the life cycle of a butterfly this week and have begun to look into the intricate and carefully constructed insect world. There are four stages to the life of the butterfly: egg, caterpillar, pupa and then butterfly. Each stage is vitally important for the growth of the butterfly. Besides bringing beauty and whimsy to the human eye, butterflies are flower pollinators and of course are part of the food chain for birds and small reptiles.
Next Tuesday, May 14th, we will be going on a field trip to Discovery Children’s Museum. We are excited to explore this wonderful museum as it recently re-opened at the Smith Center with brand new exhibits. Please have your children to school no later than 8:30am that morning (including our afternoon students) and also have them wear their blue tie-dyed Foothills Montessori tee shirts.
We are looking for a family to care for “Spikey” our lizard over the summer months. Spikey is our blue bellied lizard pet. He is fed 20 small crickets weekly and needs his heat light turned on daily. Please let Ms. Nancy know if you are interested. Thank you!
Also, “Thanks” to Isaiah and his family for providing wonderful snacks this week.
Have a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend,
Ms. Lina, Ms. Nancy, Ms. Julie
