Humus 腐殖质
Learning & Reading
The Curious Classroom
我的两个学生 Simran 以及Jina 当我提到我认识罗伯特博士并且如果有任何问题我们能够找到他的时候，他们为了有机会去了解而跳了起来。
Thinker Time
深受【The Curious Classroom】这本书打动，到如今已经一同阅读了将近留个章节，自由开放的20人左右的中等人数班级的教学质量应该是相对科学以及有客观效果的教室呈现，今天的阅读内容，对今后的教学思路上面，可能把一本好的名著或者教材，研究深入，并且又爱上他的感觉非常重要，因为孩子们不了解，你可以非常熟门熟路地展开并且带领他们走自己的那条幽静奇妙的小径，每一个主题留下PPT，音频，视频，以及一些适合的Handout,便于孩子们进一步探索发现，可能这就是为什么他们会喜欢上这门或者那门学科的缘由。
Tick Tock Time
我有好多朋友的孩子们都处于7岁以内的年龄阶段，我们平时也各自忙于生活家庭，很少有时间聊一聊，侃侃大山，但是借此机会，大家不妨一起，看看这个互相陪伴的故事。
想着孩子都是有神性力量的一群高能量群体，他们需要陪伴，支持，呵护，来维持神性的力量，但并不是说他们不需要面对这个世界了，而是保存实力，来更好的展现自己的特殊，从而成为特长，来看清自己喜欢什么，需要什么，身边的人需要什么，做什么能够帮助自己也能帮助别人。
感恩宝宝的降临，感谢这次奇妙的探险旅程，我们一起上路，互相陪伴，互相成长！
当当当！！！
非常高兴我们今天迎来了阅读街的小学第四册，
大片的段落文章会出现，
相信大家慢慢会适应，
谁不是呢！

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
对“我”来说
捡垃圾是一件非常“时髦的“”事情
为什么会有这个想法，
因为它信天翁宝宝的故事
关于一生一情一白首的信天翁的故事
因为稻城亚丁的白芒雪山
稻城亚丁
关于世界最后一片清净净土的故事
刚刚进入亚丁牧场时候袋子还是空空的
对比两张图，有谁喜欢第一张图呢？
Compare with the first picture?
They are the same place,
But the first came with rubbish.
随着海拔的上升，可以捡到很多氧气罐一次性对嘴
经过三四个小时

Hiking for Rubbish
说实话为了这包垃圾，
差点送了老公的性命
扛着高反的喘气
我们一次次弯腰去捡拾垃圾
看着神山
可惜委屈
好看的景色谁都喜欢的
试着为所有人都想一想吧
等到下一次去
时隔几年
是否清澈纯洁依旧
随手带走手里的塑料垃圾
塑料的降解需要400多年
Please Take the rubbish（especially plastics） away from this beautiful place！！！！！！
将心比心这个美丽的地方是动物的家
It's the home of animals.
你愿意你的家被扔成这样吗
既然你向往美好
为什么去破坏它呢？？？？
回家的路上
看着隧道
静能生定
定能生慧
教育里面需要有爱
正如“仙乃日”
它是慈悲的意思
我们不可能独活
所以没有分别之心的去爱
在我的人生愿望清单里面，
捡10000个塑料垃圾，
是这一辈子“死而无悔项目”之一，
于是就遇见了Kate和她的顺手捡跑团，
或者如果“你”出现在宝山的话，
可以相约自行车捡垃圾，
疫情结束就一起吧！
有兴趣的话可以搜索
顺手捡跑团
可以加入他们哦
● 环保是一件简单的事
从我下次买菜自己带袋子开始
买包子自己带盒子
买淘宝和卖家协商使用纸质包装
仅仅做垃圾分类还不够
我们应该从源头开始
减少垃圾的产生，践行5R原则：
Refuse 拒绝你不需要的
Reduce 减少你想要的
Reuse(& Repair）
重复利用，物尽其用
Recycle 将物品回收再生
Rot 堆肥降解有机物
Science Time
今天我们来了解一下
“鬼” ghost
有吗？ 没有吗？ 到底有没有？
我们问问看今天的主角
大神-皮皮虾，
我很惊奇
在看了初三物理关于弹力的教学视频之后，
惊人的发现了皮皮虾的又一“特异功能”
初三物理弹力-皮皮虾
现在来聊一下皮皮虾眼中的世界，
首先我们人类眼中的世界相比猫咪和狗狗（只能看到灰色蓝色绿色）就已经是非常色彩斑斓了，
我们五彩缤纷是来自于视觉细胞里面的视锥细胞
视频里面也告诉我们了，
眼睛能够看见世界的色彩斑斓，是因为有视觉细胞
视觉细胞分两种，
一种是视杆细胞，视杆细胞是用来分辨黑暗光亮的，
在昏暗的地方如果家中有猫咪，你剋看到猫咪的眼睛闪着光亮，猫咪在夜晚能够捕捉老鼠也就是因为高达人类6倍之多的视杆细胞看到物体。
第二种是视锥细胞，视锥细胞专门来分辨色彩，人眼大约有500万到700万个视锥细胞,1亿2千万到1亿4千万个视杆细胞。视锥细胞对光的“颜色”反应敏感，根据吸收波长的不同，人类可分为三类，分别是L视锥(红视锥)、M视锥(绿视锥)和S视锥(蓝视锥)。
而皮皮虾可就厉害了，
皮皮虾的视锥细胞是人类的5倍之多
他可以看到16种视锥，2500万到3500万个视锥细胞，
可想而知，你猜猜皮皮虾的世界有多漂亮，生活在同一个世界，它的视觉感官却能给她看到我们看不见的东西，甚至是红外线的射线，而人类如若想要做到这一点就需要借助科技设备了。
所以现在回到有没有“鬼”。
人类的正常视力范围（500万到700万个视锥细胞）以及听力范围（正常人的听力范围约在16赫一24000赫(次/秒)之间）的感官限制了我们的想象，
但是看不见除了人类动植物以外的生物不能说明皮皮虾不存在吧！
