Beginning our Plants Unit and Careers on Wheels Day

This first week back from spring break we started new units of study as well as reviewed procedures and general school expectations. Our room got a bit of a makeover, ask your child about our new tables and shelf for supplies, and the students have been loving it so far. It makes our room feel more like a community which I love. This blog will show you all about the start to our plants unit as well as some pictures form our careers on wheels day! Enjoy!

Plants Unit

This week we started learning about plants and to start off we brainstormed some plants that we see in our everyday lives, and then went for a nature walk to observe some around our neighborhood. The kids found so many amazing flowers and plants and they documented them all in their science journals.

We also did a plant art project this week inspired by Eric Carle's "The Tiny Seed." We used painted paper that we tore up to create our art, and then we labeled the plant parts afterward. The students did such an amazing job and love seeing their art hanging in the hallway as we pass by.

               

              

              

Each student also got to plant a bean seed on Friday, so I will take pictures with updates as those grow!

Careers on Wheels

We also had the amazing opportunity to learn about a few different jobs in our community and see the vehicles that they use to complete those jobs. We saw everything from a recycling truck, a logging truck, a fire truck, PGE cranes and vans, as well as transport vehicles. The kids really enjoyed it and it was a fun way to connect back to our community unit that we completed in March.

 

  

This week we are continuing on with plants as well as getting ready for our student led conferences. So stay tuned for updates!

Cheers to a great week!
