Slug Hunt
One of the coolest things about Taller Colibri is that the back yard is a combination science lab / semi-tropical jungle. And it's gorgeous.

Carnivorous Plants
This past week at Taller Colibri, the kids have been working with carnivorous plants--as any parent knows, most children just go nuts for them! Lucky for us, we were able to find some for cheap at a gorgeous organic nursery here in Oaxaca -- we scored a sundew plant for all of 30 pesos, less than three bucks.
We also scored a venus flytrap and more to bring to the school site, where the students can enjoy watching the plants eat a few bugs.
The picture here is a drawing I made of a sun dew plant. Okay, so they don't really have eyes, I just added that for a dramatic effect.
Next up, Taller Colibri is doing a unit on magic. We'll look at the life of Harry Houdini and learn some tricks.
