Weekly Update 3/12/20

We had a fun trip to the Botanical Gardens! The students listened to the story Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens in order to learn about the parts of a plant. The children learned about various fruits and vegetables they eat. They also were each able to plant a radish seed to take home. We explored the Climatron, the Temperate House, and the orchid show.

Our week was focused on wrapping up our units before break. Our science unit on matter has concluded and we will be switching back to social studies when we return. In math, we have finished up our chapter on data and graphing. After spring break, our next unit will focus on telling time. The children finished their published copies of their informational writing books. They celebrated by reading each other's work and awarding each other certificates of achievement based on what they felt was the strength of the person's writing. They had a great time presenting each other with their awards!

Have a safe and enjoyable spring break!
