Plant Life Cycle and Plant Needs

This week in science we talked about the life cycle of a plant and what plants need to survive.

Monday, we watched our BrainPOP on the life cycle of a plant. After our BrainPOP, we took our quiz, read the comic strip, tried to figure out the joke, and played the game that went along with the video. This week's game went perfectly with what we were doing in our science journal next!

Once we finished playing our game a couple times, the kids got out their science journals and cut out pictures to place in order showing the life cycle of a plant.

Tuesday we stayed outside a little longer after recess to look at a dandelion and see where the seeds were and how they float off in the wind to get carried to other places and start new flowers. We brought some seeds into our room and planted them, but a couple of the cups got knocked over.

Our busy week!

This past week flew by! Here are some of the things the kids did in class this past week.

In math this past week, the kids sorted 2D and 3D shapes, played money concentration, colored by sum, and graphed animals. 

One of  their math stations was sorting 2D and 3D shapes.

The kids picked among circles and spheres, squares and cubes, or triangles and cones.

At my table the kids graphed animals and then answered questions about their graphs.

At a third station this week, the kids did an Easter color by sum page.

At their fourth station this week, the kids played money concentration. They had to match coins to amounts on cards.

In reading and writing this past week, the kids wrote drafts of their new story, unscrambled letters inside of Easter eggs to make words, matched compound words and sorted CVC and sneaky e words.

In writing, the kids practiced writing their own stories and making drafts.

They wrote and drew out their characters, setting, problem and solution before putting it on paper.

Unscrambling letters to make words.

The kids opened Easter eggs and unscrambled the letters to make CVC words.

After they made their word, they wrote it down in the Easter egg.

In science this past week, we talked about the life cycle of plants. In their journals, the kids ordered plant life cycle pictures.
