Ziráhuato- San Felipe

Ambassadors: 345-387

Coordinates: 19-5570163 -100.3553341

Dear friends, we continue but are near completion of the delivery of your beautifully illustrated ambassadors in this highly populated area of Ziráhuato.

Does the SOIL have a rough feeling? This means it has a SANDY composition. Pine trees and cacti grow well here. 

SILT feels smooth and silky, like talcum powder, when dry, and floury when moist. Weeping willows and  roses grow well in this soil.”

We learned these facts from the book Soil, donated through the Monarchs Across Georgia Mexico Book Project.

Decorating plant pots made from recycled containers and growing herbs for seasoning on windowsills are additional ideas we gleaned from another donated book, Manos a la Tierra, compliments of a Monarch Butterfly Fund Small Grants.

 Our topic on SOIL perfectly matched the students’ lesson today:  F O S S I L S!

The richest layer of soil is the HUMUS, which contains mushrooms, roots, bacteria, insects, worms, and more and where people have found petrified remains of plants, dinosaur skeletons, and mammoth tusks!.

It has been fascinating to find out how much we can learn about SOIL!

Your beatiful Ambassadors will hibernate in our classrooms just as real Monarchs hibernate now in our Oyamel fir forests!

Queridos amigos, continuamos pero nos acercamos ya al final de la entrega de sus hermosamente ilustradas embajadoras en esta zona densamente poblada de Ziráhuato.

“El SUELO se siente áspero? Esto significa que tiene una consistencia arenosa. Los pinos y los cactus crecen bien en él”.

 “El LIMO se siente suave y sedoso como polvo de talco si esta seco y como harina si esta húmedo. Los sauces llorones y las rosas se desarrollan bien en este tipo de suelo”.

Aprendimos esto de nuestro libro EL SUELO, que nos fue donado a través de el Proyecto Monarchs Across Georgia Book Project.

Obtuvimos también nuevas ideas para decorar pequeños maceteros hechos de envases reciclables para plantar semillas de hierbas de olor y para decorar el interior de nuestras ventanas de otro de nuestros libros en donación llamado MANOS A LA TIERRA, gracias a las aportaciones de Monarch Butterfly Fund.

Nuestro tema, EL SUELO, complementó de manera ideal la lección del momento de los estudiantes: ¡FOSILES!

 La capa más rica del suelo es el HUMUS que no solo contiene hongos, raíces, bacterias, insectos, lombrices y más, ¡sino que es donde se han encontrado restos de plantas petrificadas, esqueletos de dinosaurios y osamenta de mamuts!

¡Ha sido fascinante descubrir cuanto podemos aprender del EL SUELO!

Sus hermosas embajadoras hibernarán en nuestro salón tal como las Monarcas de verdad lo hacen ahora en nuestros bosques de Oyamel!
