This week, we have talked about the life cycles that humans, insects and plants go through. We saw that all living things begin as a seed, and go through several transformations in life. We read The Dandelion Seed today, and discussed the ways that seeds travel. The students then designed seed coats that would allow their seeds to hitchike, like pinecones and berries, fly through the air like maples and dandelions, and float by water like coconuts and cranberries. The students tested their designs for effectiveness.
THANK YOU to all the parents who supported this year's fund-an-item of supplying our classrooms with smartboards. I had a chance to bring the demo board to the class for the morning that the students LOVED interacting with the board. They will be installed and ready for use either at the end of this year, or definately this fall.
