Song- In The Desert ("Oh My Darling Clementine") by Gayle Bittinger
In the desert, in the hot sun,
Grows a cactus big and tall.
It is green and it is spiny,
It's the best one of them all.
Of saguaro, oh saguaro,
Oh saguaro cactus.
You are green and your are spiny,
And the strongest of them all!
Book- Cactus Hotel by Brenda Z. Guiberson. A great book that shows what a wonderful desert we live in with the great saguaro cactus's. This book shows the life span of these great tree-sized cactus and who benefits from them.
Activity- Today we are starting a 3 day desert sunset project. We will start painting our sunset and desert landscape today. Over the next few classes we will add things to our desert picture as we discuss the many wonders of the desert!
