THE SAHARA DESERT, LADYBUGS and THE EIFFEL TOWER

Seek wisdom while you are still able to reason and it will allow you to show wisdom when you are beyond it. (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)

Dear Students,
Today will you are learning so many things, we must face the reality that there may be still a lot you will not learn. So here are a few interesting facts that may never come up in a classroom but which I feel is good to know.
Have a great day.
Yours Always,

An adult female ladybug will eat about 300 medium-size aphids before it lays eggs. About three to ten aphids are eaten for each egg the beetle lays. More than 5,000 aphids may be eaten by a single adult in its lifetime.

The height of the 984-foot-tall Eiffel Tower varies, depending on the temperature, by as much as 6 inches.
