This week in reading we talked about how we use energy. We read stories about different ways to produce energy like from wind or from the sun. We even read a story about a group of students that powered their laptops by riding bicycles.
We wrapped up our plant experiement in science. We concluded that our plants grew the best if they had sunlight and water. Check them out...what do you think?
We also had some fun learning about pollination in science. Each student was given a "bee" and needed to go from flower to flower and collect pollen (cheese balls). They were not permitted to lick or wipe off their fingers. By the end of the pollination, each student's fingers were covered in "pollen". This showed them how pollen is spread among flowers and how they stay pollinated.
Our field trip to the zoo is coming up. Keep on the lookout for information coming home about the trip and the permission slip. Have a great weekend!!
