Head, Thorax and Abdomen!

Today we started discussing the importance of bees in a plants life.  We started out by drawing a bee on our whiteboards and then we compared it to a scientific drawing of a bee and worked on labeling them!  We then took dead bees ( Yes, dead bees.) and checked them out under the magnifying glass.  We then attached them to a toothpick and will use them to cross pollinate our plants after break!  Ask your child about the song we learned to remember the parts of a bee!  (If they get stuck start humming Head, Shoulders, knees and toes.)

Iowa Assessments

Hello!

We will be starting our days with Iowa Assessments this week.  It is very important that your child is here by 8:30 each day.  If your child is tardy they will need to wait in the office until a break in testing.

Please do not disturb the class by knocking on the door during this time, we will not be opening the door during a test.

Thank you for your cooperation!

-Mrs. Young :)

Plant Growth and Development

We have started a new unit in science! (To learn more about it check out the science tab on the blog!)  We started planting our Fast Plants today!  We had to set up our planting quad, add fertilizer and seeds to the soil and then water our plants.  They will be hanging out under the light on our water system for the weeks to come!  Here are some pictures of us planting!




Hills Bank Baby Chicks!

The baby chicks from Hills Bank came to visit us!  We heard a story about how they hatched and also learned some cool chicken facts!  (Do you know what a baby chick is called officially?  Or how many different breeds of chicks there are?  Ask your student!)  Here are some pictures of us checking them out and helping name them!
