Stuart’s Garden
My name is Stuart
I planted a garden in our backyard and within my heart,
I tended it with care,
And now so many colors are blooming there.
Let’s Plant
Brie and Lee, come with me,
Katie and Ellie I have seeds for you to see.
Seeds of vegetables,
And seeds of fruits.

Grade 4- NATURE
Have you ever worn a shirt that had a small hole in it? What did you do? Did you just
ignore it? Did you have it repaired or mended? If you chose to ignore it, the tear must have
become bigger overtime. It is the same with Illegal Logging. If people cut down a few trees for a
day or two, it will not be a big deal. But if it continues to rise over a long period of time, then
our planet will have some problems.
Before we started to build cities many centuries ago, they say that 60% of the Earth was
covered in Forests. Now, scientists say that by the year 2030, we might only have 10% of our
forests left, and if we don’t stop deforestation, they could all be gone in 100 years.
Deforestation is when forests are converted for other purposes by cutting down the
trees to clear the land for other use. With 7 billion people in the planet, we need more land to
create houses and infrastructures. People also make money by clearing the forests and selling
the lumber and wood to be converted into products we use everyday such as paper and wood.

Forests help regulate the Earth’s temperature and weather patterns by producing rain.
It is also because trees help absorb the harmful carbon dioxide that we humans release in the
atmosphere and they provide the oxygen that we need to breathe. Forests are also home to
plants and animals. It took 60 to 100 million years for Rainforests to evolve and it is the home of
over 30 million species of plants and animals. When we clear the forests, they all die. Rainwater
is filtered through the forest floor to make groundwater and help avoid erosion, where soil is
washed away causing rivers and streams to be blocked. This can cause flooding and also affects
the quality of drinking water for local people.
