Hi everyone, Miss Jean here.

Are you ready for another mini adventure in Discovery Mountain?

Well, right now, Tara Scott Smith is having a difficult time navigating the steps up to the door of the Discovery Mountain Academy.

Let's listen in to see why in today's mini adventure called Rooting for You.

Oh, oops. I almost missed that step. I can barely see around this plant. Maybe I should have brought a smaller one.

Tara, do you need any help?

Thanks, Natasha. You've been a huge help already just by opening that door for me.

What are you doing anyway? Transplanting part of the Amazon jungle to Discovery Mountain Academy?

No, I'm just bringing this monster for the lobby.

You're putting a monster in our school lobby?

No, a monster deliciousiosa, to be exact.

Wait, monstera deliciosa? That's the botanical name of this rather large and unwieldy plant.

Here, let me help you set it down. Ooh, thanks. My Latin is a bit rusty, but the name of this plant sounds like Delicious Monster?

Your Latin's better than you think. That's exactly what it means. It's also known as the Swiss cheese plant and the fruit salad plant.

Those both sound a lot better than delicious monster. Thanks. Now, let's see where should we

place this plant? Maybe over by the window? Yes, it'll do well there by the window. We need a few

more plants in the school. Well, the new greenhouse should help with that. True. Mike thinks it'll be

good for the students too. Mike? Oh, D.S. Yeah, for sure.

Good cardiovascular exercise and a good faith exercise.

Physical and spiritual.

Yeah, I love plants because they force me to slow down and care for something.

It reminds me of the goodness of God.
