Gardening

Do you want to be greener, but don’t know where to start? than this is the article for you. Gardening is one of the first things you should do if you want to be more eco-friendly. When wanting to start a garden the first thing you want to do is think about what you want to plant. there are three main types of plants, perennials, annuals, and biennials. so, what’s the differentness between them? well, perennials are plants that live for more than two years, so they will come back after winter. Perennials also tined to grow more slowly than other plants and are usually more expensive too, as well as being a long-term investment. Annuals on the other hand, live for less than one year, so you have to replant them the next spring. Annuals also grow quickly. Biennials are basically just short living perennials.

Planting a garden is really good for pollinators like butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, some birds, wasps, beetles, and most importantly, bees.

You should plant native plants, becaues if you plant plants from other places, they might become invasive and take over the native plants and nothing will be there to stop them because they don’t have natural predators. They also need less watering and fertilizer because they’re adapted to the climate.

Here are some plants that are good to plant in Michigan in the categories perennials, annuals, and biennials:

annuals perennials biennials

lettuce kale

peas

squash

cucumbers

green beans razzberries

radishes blueberries

strawberries

tomatoes

peppers

eggplants Michigan lily

wild bergamot or bee balm

black-eyed susan

bottle gentian

butterfly weed

common evening primrose

dwarf lake iris

eastern red columbine

false sunflower

Magical Michelle and the Tale of Stage III

By Isabella B.

Michelle was inspired by the other teachers that worked at Roeper to become a teacher at Roeper. Her kids went to Roeper and she saw that teachers were kind to their students and were good to their students. Michelle’s jobs before Roeper were the owner of a children’s play space and she worked at restaurants and she worked at a law office. What she likes about teaching Stage III is kids’ passions and watching them grow. Michelle is excited about next year because we’re going to be able to have field trips! Michelle’s favorite things to do with her class is morning circle and to read books to them. Michelle is most proud of the Stage III store. Michelle wants Stage II kids who are moving up to Stage III to know that it is just as welcoming and caring as Stage II and encourages them to be more independent.

Cheetahs, Cheetahs, and Hopefully More Cheetahs

by Isabella B.

Cheetahs are endangered animals. There are 6,700 adult cheetahs in the world, so yes, they’re endangered. But with new scientific try, it might save the cheetahs from extinction. There were 12 wild cheetahs put in Mozambique, a country in Africa, in August 2021. They were put in a big place where there is lots of food for them to eat in the place. Also there are no lions in there, which are a big threat to cheetahs because they kill them whenever they see them, but do not eat them. They only kill them because they compete over the same food and territory, which means space. And there are no poachers allowed in the space, either, which also make big threats to cheetahs. The preserve can fit 100 cheetahs. Scientists can watch the cheetahs from helicopters so they can get footage of them eating, hunting, mating, having babies, and pretty much anything that a cheetah does in their life.

And now some cheetah facts:

1. Cheetahs can change direction in midair.

2. 90% of cheetahs don’t make it to adulthood.

3. Cheetahs have a top sped of 72 mph.

Easter Story & Traditions

By Isabella B.

Rabbits, Ear, Rabbit, Easter, Ears, Easter Bunny

Christians believe that Easter is a very important day because it was the day that Jesus came back to life. And it is always on a Sunday in spring.  

The tradition of the Easter Bunny started in Germany. There was a Pagan story was of a bunny that put colorful eggs in birds’ nests. That story grew into the Easter Bunny. To celebrate this tradition, you can get plastic eggs and put candy in them and then after they’re hidden you can go on an egg hunt.

RECESS WITH A TWIST AND A HOP

By Isabella B. and Elise W.

There is exciting news! There is a bunny family under the slide, so we will need to give them their space. The slide area is off limits and it is important not to scare them. Their mom will take care of them. But they will need your help! Help remind your friends to stay away from the bunnies. Colorful cones were put underneath the three slides. If you see them, please be quiet and don’t go inside the triangle of cones.

PLEASE DO NOT MOVE THE CONES.

DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON THE NEST. THERE ARE BABY BUNNIES UNDERNEATH ALL THE FLUFF.

RIP IT, SNIP IT, CLIP IT!
 




BY ELISE WITT & ISABELLA BASTYR


COVID-19 is affecting humans as well as animals! When you litter your mask, an animal could eat or get stuck in it.  Scientists think that about 1.56 billion masks went into the ocean in 2020. When you put your mask in the trash, it helps everyone, so make the right decision and take care of the environment. Snip the strings of masks and cut your gloves in half. According to Addison Haynes, who brought this to our attention, it’s so important to properly dispose of PPE because “it can kill animals if they mistake it for food.” Thanks to Elisabeth and Nicole’s class for bringing us this information! Roeper, do your part to properly dispose of PPE!
