Dr. Seuss

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, its not!" -The Lorax

This week we are looking at the great adventurous stories told by Dr. Seuss. Today we read The Lorax and discovered  Dr. Seuss wanted us to care and make a difference in our world! So here we go on our journey to see what difference we can make! 

Differences: 

1. Plant a tree, somewhere in the world! 

2. Recycle: Don't throw those things away that we can reuse! 

3. Plant a garden/flowers: us your plants to create oxygen and food for the table! 

4. If you cut down a tree, don't forget to replant! 

5. Keep your lights off when you are not using them. 

6. Take shorter showers! Use less water! 

7. Instead of always getting a new water bottle, don't be afraid to REUSE! 

 

 We are making a pledge this week to help out our environment! We want to challenge each of you to take this HUGE step and make a difference! 

Seahorses.....

Who knew horses lived under the sea....

This week we have been learning all about seahorses. We have discovered they are very interesting animals! Just a few facts about seashores we have learned...enjoy!

Facts:

1.Daddy sea horses carry the eggs for the female in his pouch near his belly button. When the sea horses are born, there are generally about 1,500 babies! 

2. In the morning the male and female horses dance with each other every morning. Even if she has to leave, she still returns home for a morning dance! 

3. Sea horses are so small....we unfortunately can't ride them. :( However they only grow to be no bigger than 14 inches tall. Some are even as small as 2 centimeters! 

If you have any cool facts, pictures, websites, or videos we would LOVE to learn more!
