• Thank you for allowing our class to compare and contrast our “Squares of life” to squares in other states and Canada. We learned that our squares are different in many ways, particularly the plants, while in other ways we have a lot of similarities. We have a lot of insects and earth materials in common. We know that a lot of our differences are related to the weather and temperatures of the different areas. We have also learned how to take time to look in, under, and around the world we take for granted on a daily basis.
