Welcome to our world of discovery and learning!

Welcome to our daily blog! We use it to share daily updates on our classroom, reflections on our learning with children, and photographs. Extended family, friends, neighbors, educators, etc, are also encouraged to follow the blog!
One of the wonderful aspects of blogging is that it allows real-time interaction between home and school. Is your child talking about what we are doing in school? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you interested (or even an expert!) in something we are studying? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you planning an outing with your child to extend the classroom learning? Leave us a comment and invite other families along!
We also have a section call, "Learn More About..." When we write each post, we tag it with relevant topics. And so if you wanted to see what we have been doing with, for instance, science, you would click on that tag, and see all the posts about science.

To Plant a Seed

The Owls are busting with excitement as planting season has finally arrived!! We started the day with Library, and Gwen read us one of the Lost Dr. Seuss stories called the "Bippolo Seed." Then Tamara took notes as the children shared all the things they know about seeds:

You have to water them and make sure they get lots of sun. 
You have to plant them.
You have to wait until they grow.
They have to be in dirt.
You have to put a seed in it.
Plant them.
The flowers make seeds.
We can make a cornstalk.
You have to wait til they get done planting.
You have to be patient.



Finally it was time for us to plant! We used the potting soil and pea seeds that Alexander and his family shared with us, and each took turns shoveling in the dirt and planting seeds.











Finally we watered the seeds with droppers!
