Powerful Plants

Just as a flower grows when tended to with love and care, we are continuing to grow in our learning each week. This week we focused on plants. We explored the parts of a plant, compared the different seeds that plants come from, and had an opportunity to plant our own lima bean plants. Here are some pictures from our science explorations from this week.

Lima Bean Plants

In math, we continued our study of measurement. We participated in measurement stations where we used beans and cups to measure capacity, items from the room and cubes to measure length, and zoo animals and a balance to measure weight. We had such a wonderful time! Then, we created tree maps to organize our thoughts and record some of the items that we discovered could be measured by length, weight, and capacity. Finally, we participated in a Measurement Show and Tell where we brought special things from home and explained to our friends how they could be measured.  Here are some pictures from our study and a video of our Measurement Show and Tell. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
