JULY

When the scarlet cardinal tells
Her dreams to the dragon fly,
And the lazy breeze makes a nest in the trees,
And murmurs a lullaby,
It is July.

- Susan Hartley Swett.

MATCH GAME - RIVERS.

See if you can place the rivers below in their correct location on the map.

EXPLORING TIDE POOLS. Visit the beach. The best time to see a tide pool is when the tide has gone out. If you sit quietly and watch carefully you will see movement in the water. Look for small fish, hermit crabs, snails, clams, anemones, baby starfish, etc. Scoop them up into a net and place them into a pail of ocean water so you can see them better. Record all the animals you see and draw pictures of them. Then return them to the water where they were found. Write a story about one of the creatures you saw. If you cannot get to the seaside, visit an aquarium.

STARFISH. If you are lucky to find a starfish, you will see its 5 arms, called rays, form a star pattern. On each ray you will see tiny suckers called tube feet that help the starfish walk on the ocean bottom. Starfish are lucky. If they lose a ray or part of it, it grows back. Starfish like to eat clams, scallops, and oysters.
