Thank you for celebrating our learning with us today!




























Plants, Plants, Plants

We are in full swing of our new inquiry unit:  Living Things.  We have started our unit off by studying plants.  We have dissected seeds and learned about the different parts of a seed.  We have explored different types of seeds, soil, full grown flowers and other types of plants.  We have even planted our very own azuki beans! Below are some pictures of our scientists as they experiment with plants.











Below:
Using the Pic Collage App to take pictures and identify parts of a plant.  The students will post their learning on the student blog soon.
