Plants Unit Comes to an End


It has been fun filled weeks with our plants.  We have now sent them all home so they could be transplanted!  They grew more than ever in our new self-watering containers.  Our inside garden tub also grew so quickly!!

Take a look!

Plants


Wow, what a great time we have had!!  We love watching our plants grow.  I can’t wait to get to school tomorrow and see how much our plants have grown.

Here are a few things happening in our room! Many experiments are going on at one time.  It is a busy place.

   
 
 

Our Greenhouse Garden!!  We have our bulbs in here.




This is our self-watering seed container.  In the past my children  have had a problem with over watering, but this has helped.
 
 
 
We have learned about the parts of a plant and the lifecycle of a plant.


 


What does a stem do??




 

 
We learned about Common Core measurement in math.   What FUN!!
 
 
I have put all of these and more in my TPT Unit.

Conservation / Capacity


We had such a great time today with our capacity activity.  We have been working on this all week.  I am so proud of my students!!!  We will be bringing our Recycling / Conservation unit and capacity to an end tomorrow!! 

We will begin our plant and length unit next week!!  I can’t wait.  This is one of my favorite units!!!   I just love all of our spring units!!

I love KINDERGARTEN!!!!

Here are a few pictures. (I included a few from our Oviparous unit also because one of my great volunteers was a big help today by taking our barn down to prepare for our next week’s activities)

Why do we recycle?


Well, we beat the rain today and got our science experiment in the ground.  The children made all sorts of predictions on what they thought would happen to the apple cores and the cup and spoon.  I can’t wait to check the hole in about a week and a half!!

Recycling and Conservation

We are so excited!  We are getting ready to begin our recycling and conservation week.  We are really starting on Monday.  We have already began collecting our can for our school beautification project, began to collect our Toy Trade items and will get our Why We Recycle Experiment started tomorrow.  We tried to squeeze it in today, but just ran out of time. (I know none of you ever do that in your classrooms.  I will add pictures when we get it started.  Below is my unit. Check it out on TPT.

 

Ducklings Gone To The Farm


It was a busy day for us.  Our ducklings have gone to the farm to play.  We could not decide if we wanted to be sad for us or happy for them.  We had such a great time yesterday comparing our ducklings with Mrs. Rhyne’s chicks.  All of the students did a great job reporting all of the great facts they had learned!!  We are so proud of both classes.
