koala

The koala

feeds on the leaves, shoots, twigs, stems, flowers and bark of eucalyptus trees.

This eucalyptus tree dweller of east Australian woodlands was hunted for food and fur. It suffers from habitat depletion due to human encroachment. Its name is an Aboriginal word meaning “no drink animal.” It gets most of its water from the leaves it eats and does not have to drink from ground water.

Children recognize the alphabet and like writing it in order. It is what they know. Children in their sensitive period for writing like to form letters on paper. Show them by tracing over a line with the correct path. After years of watching children write with different tools we recommend using Crayola markers. They’re colorful and glide across the paper. Colored pencils are a good second choice. We recommend Nienhuis triangular colored pencils. When a mistake is made the child covers it with a mistake sticker. We recommend Avery brand small stickers cut into small strips for mistake stickers.

“We do not inherit the earth from our fathers. We borrow it from our children.” David Bower

Carbonic acid in water dissolves rock and forms cave passages. Caves take 30,000 to 60,000 years to form. They cover 10% of the earth and occur in temperate, tropical, alpine and polar biomes. About 1/4th of the world’s people depend on water supplied by karst areas. Human encroachment and pollution affect them.

Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, hatch from eggs in freshwater streams and rivers. Young are called fry. They feed on insects and live in freshwater for about 4 years. They migrate to the Atlantic Ocean and live in saltwater for 4-5 years. Adults feed on fish and grow to over 30 pounds. These fish are anadromous. They return to the same place they were born to spawn. They can live in fresh or salt water. They do not die after spawning like most members of the salmon family.
