Welcome to our new class blog!

I'm very excited about this--it's a very quick and easy way to post pictures and keep you updated about what's happening in our class. Be sure to check back often!

We've been learning all about plants!

  • We know that a plant has many parts, and each part has a job. If a plant was missing one of its parts, it would die.
  • The roots of a plant hold it in the ground and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
  • The stem of a plant holds the leaves and flowers up off the ground and carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  • The leaves of a plant use sunlight, water and air to make food.
  • Flowers make seeds...Seeds make new plants!

We've had a lot of fun learning about plants--we've really gotten our hands dirty! Here are a few pictures of us exploring the different parts of plants and looking for roots outside.

(Kindergarten is so much fun, 2nd graders always sneak in...)
