| Declaration of Independence WHEN, in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the Causes which impel them to the Separation.

| Monsoon - Nature activities The monsoon season is a window of opportunity for desert nature observations. Here are some activities to share with your kids - and they don't cost anything: Night Toad Walk: any area near a riverbed, Sabino Canyon, any park with signifcant natural area like Feliz Paseos park, will likely have lots of toads out at night. The most common in our area are the red spotted toad, a small (about the size of a child's fist) toad that seems to be not too shy of people. They come out towards evening and into the night. We have watched them eating termites and even fed them june bugs that we gathered nearby. Couch's spadefoot and Sonoran Desert Toad may also be out and about, some of pretty impressive sizes. Cicada Emergence: Although many are already out and singing, if you find a plac ...read more... | add comment |

(or, Spanish for Kids!) I wish I'd learned a second language during those sensitive years when it is supposed to be so much easier to pick up! So now with my 2-year old, I've been on the lookout for Spanish learning opportunties. Between the public libraries and Parent Connection, we've made a pretty good start. The Sam Lena and Quincie Douglas libraries have weekly storytimes en Español at 10:30 AM Thursday and 11 AM Wednesday, respectively (see http://tppl.org ). Once the librarian has read us a book in Spanish and explained the translation, it's easier for me to take it home and reread it to my kids. Spanish is an entirely phonetic language, so once you know a few pronunciation rules you can read aloud even if you may not understand all the words! Then, the Parent Connection, an excellent family r ...read more... | add comment |
