“Some nutrients of soil come from minerals. Minerals are found in small particles of rocks. Other nutrients come from humus. Humus consists of rotten plants and dead animals. “Both HUMUS and MINERALS are MAIN PROVIDERS of NUTRIENTS to plants. WATER and AIR, HUMUS and MINERALS are the four main ingredients to SOIL.” Each team in the class took turns reading out loud.
At every school visit the Symbolic Migration makes in Ziráhuato and San Felipe, students and teachers are informed, for the first time, how delicate, limited, and unique our Oyamel fir forests are.
“So much we did not know about Monarch butterflies and the importance of our ecosystem to them,” teachers exclaimed with great interest.

“This is what we call them,” children proudly remarked.
(Otomí and Nahuatl indigenous terms for “butterfly”)
Learning about the importance of SOIL composition has been a perfect complement to all conservation efforts for our local ecosystem.
It is now time for our students and teachers to pause. Our big festivities on December 12, day of the Virgen of Guadalupe, our patron saint in México, will mark the start of family time. Our kitchens will warm up our homes all day and night long, as we help our parents decorate our homes with christmas balls and night-color lightning. Our cozy homes will smell to hot fruit punch and endless different Mexican snacks and dishes our grandma’s inherit. ¡Colorful piñatas to break and small candy gifts we will get all over from our neighbors and relatives!
¡Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo!

“Algunos nutrientes del suelo provienen de los minerales. Los minerales se encuentran en pequeñas partículas de las rocas. Otros nutrientes provienen del humus. El humus se compone de plantas en descomposición y animales muertos. “Tanto el HUMUS como los MINERALES son los PRINCIPALES PROVEEDORES DE NUTRIENTES para las plantas. AGUA, AIRE, HUMUS y MINERALES son los cuatro principales ingredientes del SUELO” Tomaba su turno cada equipo leyendo voz alta.
En cada visita que la Migración Simbólica hace a Zitácuaro y a San Felipe, los estudiantes y maestros se enteran, por primera vez, de cuán delicados y limitados han sido nuestros bosques de Oyamel.
“¡Había tantas cosas que no sabíamos acerca de las mariposas Monarcas y de la importancia de la salud de nuestro ecosistema para ellas!” exclamaron los maestros con gran interés.

(Términos indigenes Otomí y Nahuatl para la palabra “mariposa”)
Aprender sober la importance de la composición del EL SUELO, ha sido el complemento perfecto para cualquier propuesta de conservación de nuestro ecosistema local.
Ahora es tiempo de que nuestros estudiantes y maestros hagan una pausa. Nuestra gran festividad del 12 de Diciembre, día de la Virgen de Guadalupe, marca el inicio de un tiempo en familia. Nuestras cocinas estarán calientitas todo el día y la noche mientras ayudamos a nuestros padres a decorar nuestras casas con esferas y con series de colores. Nuestras acogedoras casas olerán a ponche y a cantidad de antojitos y platillos Mexicanos que nuestras abuelas nos han heredado. ¡Quebraremos muchas piñatas de colores y recibiremos aguinaldos de todos nuestros vecinos y amigos!
¡Les deseamos Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo!
