The last couple of days, we have been "dissecting" our sunflower head, separating the florets from the seeds. Students added a petal, floret and seed to their sketchbooks, as well as wrote a fact they have learned so far, either through observation, or through our shared readings of non-fiction texts. Many students were surprised to find out that there are 67 different kinds of sunflowers around the world!
Today, we had a special visitor in our room - my Mom, Mrs. Thomas! The students all took the time to greet her with a handshake and introduce themselves, making her feel so welcome that she promises to come back next week. Students worked with her to create balloon, glue and string "lanterns" for upcoming birthday celebrations.
