Humus 腐殖質
Learning & Reading
The Curious Classroom
我的兩個學生 Simran 以及Jina 當我提到我認識羅伯特博士並且如果有任何問題我們能夠找到他的時候，他們為了有機會去了解而跳了起來。
Thinker Time
深受【The Curious Classroom】這本書打動，到如今已經一同閱讀了將近留個章節，自由開放的20人左右的中等人數班級的教學質量應該是相對科學以及有客觀效果的教室呈現，今天的閱讀內容，對今後的教學思路上面，可能把一本好的名著或者教材，研究深入，並且又愛上他的感覺非常重要，因為孩子們不瞭解，你可以非常熟門熟路地展開並且帶領他們走自己的那條幽靜奇妙的小徑，每一個主題留下PPT，音頻，視頻，以及一些適合的Handout,便於孩子們進一步探索發現，可能這就是為什麼他們會喜歡上這門或者那門學科的緣由。
Tick Tock Time
我有好多朋友的孩子們都處於7歲以內的年齡階段，我們平時也各自忙於生活家庭，很少有時間聊一聊，侃侃大山，但是藉此機會，大家不妨一起，看看這個互相陪伴的故事。
想著孩子都是有神性力量的一群高能量群體，他們需要陪伴，支持，呵護，來維持神性的力量，但並不是說他們不需要面對這個世界了，而是保存實力，來更好的展現自己的特殊，從而成為特長，來看清自己喜歡什麼，需要什麼，身邊的人需要什麼，做什麼能夠幫助自己也能幫助別人。
感恩寶寶的降臨，感謝這次奇妙的探險旅程，我們一起上路，互相陪伴，互相成長！
噹噹噹！！！
非常高興我們今天迎來了閱讀街的小學第四冊，
大片的段落文章會出現，
相信大家慢慢會適應，
誰不是呢！

Review
So Many Plants
There are all kinds of plants. Some are big, and some are small. Some grow tall on strong stems. Some are vines that climb up walls and fences. Some plants have fruits. Some have smooth stem and leaves. Some have hard, bumpy bark.
Some redwood trees grow to be 350 feet tall. That’s taller than the Statue of Liberty.
All plants are different, but they are alike in some ways too. Big or small, they are all living things. They grow and they change. Some large plants start out as tiny seeds. When they get what they need, they grow into large plants.
Corn Kernels are seeds that grow into tall stalks.
Plants grow almost everywhere. You can find plants in warm and cold climates. They can grow wherever they get the things they need. Plants need water, light, and air to live.
Crocus in the snow
Plants Need Water
Water dissolves nutrients from the soil so plants can use them. Nutrients are what living things need to grow and have energy.
The stem of a plant is filled with tiny tubes. The tubes carry water from the roots to the leaves. The leaves use the nutrients in the water to make food.
Leaf Stem Root
Even plants that grow in dry desert climates need water. Deserts do not get much rain. Desert plants have adapted to dry climates. For example, a cactus can store water in its stem. A cactus can live for a long time on a little bit of water.
Cactus
Plants Need Light
Plants need more than nutrients and water to grow. They also need light. Plants use the sunlight that falls on their leaves to make food.
This daisy gets a lot of light. It is heathy.
Some plants need a lot of light. Some only need a little. If plants cannot get the light they need, they will not be healthy. They may even die.
This daisy got very little light. It died.
Plants Need Air
Plants need water and sunlight to survive. They need one more thing too. Like all living things, Plants need air.
Air is made up of many different gases. One of those gases is carbon dioxide. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air. Along with water, nutrients, and light, they use it to make food.
Plants and animals share the air around them. They use sir in different ways.
Animals breathe in oxygen. They breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. In this way, they both need each other.
Plants help keep the air clean for people and animals.
When plants get what they need , they grow healthy and strong. When plants are healthy and strong, our environment is a better place.
We know plants are at work when we harvest apples from a tree or grapes from a vine. We also know plants are at work when we breathe fresh, clean air.
Fruits and flowers may grow on trees, bushes, or vines.

New Story
“Pie?” asked Charlie as he walked into Mr. Fernando’s classroom. “ Why are we studying pie today?”
“ I love pie!” cheered Will. “ That sounds great!“
“ Good morning!” said Mr. Fernando. He walked into the room holding a box. “ As part of our soil unit, We’ll be looking at mud pie today. Grab some pie, but watch out for worms!”
“Worms?” Meg and Emily grasped.
“Mud pie ?” growled Will. “ I like my pie to have apples , not worms! I like it to be smooth, not full of dirt!”
“ Will, I’m glad you said that,” said Mr. Fernando.” If your favorite pie has a smooth texture, it must have small particles. The soil I used to make this mud pie is made up of large particles. Those particles gave the pie its texture.”
“ It’s not smooth at all,” Will said.
Mr. Fernando unrolled a large picture of mud pie.
“ Let’s look at this chart,” he said.
“ This mud pie is made of substances from nature. Rocks, dirt, and sand are parts of the soil. Soil makes up this mud pie.”
The students looked at their own pieces of mud pie.
“ What other things are in the soil? Asked Mr. Fernando.
“ I see worms in my soil,” answered Meg.
“Worms make sure the soil has air,” said Mr. Fernando.
“ Now let’s talk about soil,” Mr. Fernando said. He started to write on the board.” Soil is made up of four materials. It has grains, air, water, and something called humus.”
“ Aren’t sand grains just small particles of rock?” asked Emily.
“ That’s right, “ said Mr. Fernando with a smile.” You really know your soil!”
“ Why does soil have air?” asked Charlie.
“ Rain is full of substances that help plants grow,” answered Mr. Fernando. “ Air spaces let rain seep into the soil. The water goes down to the roots of a plant below the ground. then the plant sucks up the water. Worms help the soil have air.”
“ What is humus?” asked Will.
“ Humus is little pieces of dead animals and plants. It makes the soil look black or brown,” explained Mr. Fernando.
“Yuck!” said Will with a frown. “ I think hums is gross!”
RRRRRRRING! The school bell jingled.
“ It’s time for lunch !” called Mr. Fernando. “ We’ll finish the rest of lesson later.”
“ We learned all about soil. What’s left?” asked Will.
“ Worms!” Mr. Fernando grinned. “Enjoy your lunch!”
Worms Help the Earth
Worms live in soil all over the world. If soil has enough food and water, worms can live in it. Most worms live near the top of the soil. They eat dead plants and animals, soil, and tiny rocks.
Worms help the earth in many ways. Worms are food for hungry animals and birds. Worms also help plants. When worms wiggle through soil, they help air get in. Worms also make tunnels that help water drain from the soil. Worms help make the soil rich and good for growing plants. Farmers love worms because worms help their crops grow.

“Chic” Time
對“我”來說
撿垃圾是一件非常“時髦的“”事情
為什麼會有這個想法，
因為它信天翁寶寶的故事
關於一生一情一白首的信天翁的故事
因為稻城亞丁的白芒雪山
稻城亞丁
關於世界最後一片清淨淨土的故事
剛剛進入亞丁牧場時候袋子還是空空的
對比兩張圖，有誰喜歡第一張圖呢？
Compare with the first picture?
They are the same place,
But the first came with rubbish.
隨著海拔的上升，可以撿到很多氧氣罐一次性對嘴
經過三四個小時
AFter three and four hours,
My bag is full of dispensable plastic Breath mouths.
Hiking for Rubbish
說實話為了這包垃圾，
差點送了老公的性命
扛著高反的喘氣
我們一次次彎腰去撿拾垃圾
看著神山
可惜委屈
好看的景色誰都喜歡的
試著為所有人都想一想吧
等到下一次去
時隔幾年
是否清澈純潔依舊
隨手帶走手裡的塑料垃圾
塑料的降解需要400多年
Please Take the rubbish（especially plastics） away from this beautiful place！！！！！！
將心比心這個美麗的地方是動物的家
It's the home of animals.
你願意你的家被扔成這樣嗎
既然你嚮往美好
為什麼去破壞它呢？？？？
回家的路上
看著隧道
靜能生定
定能生慧
教育裡面需要有愛
正如“仙乃日”
它是慈悲的意思
我們不可能獨活
所以沒有分別之心的去愛
在我的人生願望清單裡面，
撿10000個塑料垃圾，
是這一輩子“死而無悔項目”之一，
於是就遇見了Kate和她的順手撿跑團，
或者如果“你”出現在寶山的話，
可以相約自行車撿垃圾，
疫情結束就一起吧！
有興趣的話可以搜索
順手撿跑團
可以加入他們哦
● 環保是一件簡單的事
從我下次買菜自己帶袋子開始
買包子自己帶盒子
買淘寶和賣家協商使用紙質包裝
僅僅做垃圾分類還不夠
我們應該從源頭開始
減少垃圾的產生，踐行5R原則：
Refuse 拒絕你不需要的
Reduce 減少你想要的
Reuse(& Repair）
重複利用，物盡其用
Recycle 將物品回收再生
Rot 堆肥降解有機物
Science Time
今天我們來了解一下
“鬼” ghost
有嗎？ 沒有嗎？ 到底有沒有？
我們問問看今天的主角
大神-皮皮蝦，
我很驚奇
在看了初三物理關於彈力的教學視頻之後，
驚人的發現了皮皮蝦的又一“特異功能”
初三物理彈力-皮皮蝦
現在來聊一下皮皮蝦眼中的世界，
首先我們人類眼中的世界相比貓咪和狗狗（只能看到灰色藍色綠色）就已經是非常色彩斑斕了，
我們五彩繽紛是來自於視覺細胞裡面的視錐細胞
視頻裡面也告訴我們了，
眼睛能夠看見世界的色彩斑斕，是因為有視覺細胞
視覺細胞分兩種，
一種是視杆細胞，視杆細胞是用來分辨黑暗光亮的，
在昏暗的地方如果家中有貓咪，你剋看到貓咪的眼睛閃著光亮，貓咪在夜晚能夠捕捉老鼠也就是因為高達人類6倍之多的視杆細胞看到物體。
第二種是視錐細胞，視錐細胞專門來分辨色彩，人眼大約有500萬到700萬個視錐細胞,1億2千萬到1億4千萬個視杆細胞。視錐細胞對光的“顏色”反應敏感，根據吸收波長的不同，人類可分為三類，分別是L視錐(紅視錐)、M視錐(綠視錐)和S視錐(藍視錐)。
而皮皮蝦可就厲害了，
皮皮蝦的視錐細胞是人類的5倍之多
他可以看到16種視錐，2500萬到3500萬個視錐細胞，
可想而知，你猜猜皮皮蝦的世界有多漂亮，生活在同一個世界，它的視覺感官卻能給她看到我們看不見的東西，甚至是紅外線的射線，而人類如若想要做到這一點就需要藉助科技設備了。
所以現在回到有沒有“鬼”。
人類的正常視力範圍（500萬到700萬個視錐細胞）以及聽力範圍（正常人的聽力範圍約在16赫一24000赫(次/秒)之間）的感官限制了我們的想象，
但是看不見除了人類動植物以外的生物不能說明皮皮蝦不存在吧！
