Hi Families,

This morning, we started our week with some excitement! Look what happened to our pumpkin and corn over the weekend...




Students immediately started making connections to their previous learning about the needs of living things, and their original hypothesis, concluding that the pumpkin and corn must be getting all their basic needs as they are GROWING! Students then started generating new hypotheses for where the pumpkin got water from, and where the corn was getting nutrients from. We started documenting our observations and learning later in the morning.

We are also excited that we have received some deliveries of Story Spoons from generous parents who donated their time and talents to creating new literacy materials for the classroom. Look at our wonderful, growing collection so far:
