We are continuing our study of the life cycle of a butterfly. We have read some books, watched some videos and made some observations. We hope to see some butterflies pretty soon.

Today kindergarten and First grade had their reading celebration. Kindergarten ended their Reading unit, Growing Expertise in Little Books. First grade finished Meeting Characters and Learning Lessons. For the celebration, the kindergarten and first grade students chose a book and read to the Pee-K class.

This week we continued our seed/plant unit. The students chose seeds that they wanted to plant, we observed lima beans that we placed in zip lock bags and discussed what happened to them. We talked about different types of seeds- flower, fruits and vegetable and then we ate them. Fun week.

As we continue to study the life cycle of a plant we have began to dig a bit deeper and began discussing the different types of seeds. Children are exploring books, sorting seeds and we also planted a rose plant in our school garden this week.

As we continue our study of the Life Cycle of Plants, today we went to Sunset Park to sketch any plants, flowers and trees that we saw. The students had a great time exploring the park and creating their own vision by sketching.
