Students are being introduced to the life cycle of plants. After all of our pumpkin literature and stories and experiences we're extending into Science. In reading the past few weeks we've been working on Making Predictions and we've been able to connect Science to literature by working with nonfiction pieces like Gail Gibbons From Seed to Plant and The Secret Life of Trees and some fiction including The Enormous Turnip and Plantzilla.
What's even more exciting that you're probably hearing about is that we're beginning to observe and explore the stages of a plant's development including observations and experiments from the seed stage to the mature plant. We're growing three Amaryllis flowers and will be planting our own individual marigold seeds as well and keeping a planting log as we observe the stages in the life cycle of a plant.
