| Utah desert |
We are talking about the Desert this week. The students have learned that Utah is the state in which they live, and Utah is a desert!
In order to survive in the desert, plants need to be able to store water. The kids were able to feel the leaves of an Aloe Vera plant. The outside was tough and had prickly spines. The we cut open the leaf and the kids could feel it was wet and soft inside.
We have talked about some cute desert animals, and some that are not so cute. The kids have found even the most repulsive animals interesting. (Though some kids did not want to touch the toy snake!)
