When Ms. Boyer came back we all met at the carpet with Mrs. Hamby's class and we looked at some different types of seed pods that Mrs. Hamby found when she was out for a walk. We looked at sunflowers, Chinese lanterns, pine cones, and vetch plants and noticed the different ways the seeds are protected by the plants. Ask me about these different plants and their seed pods.
After recess we skipped printing and book time because Mrs. Kidd brought us a really great new book from the library. It was called "The Bad Seed" and we wanted to read it right away! The story was about a seed who started out being bad but then ended up being good because its manners and its attitude.
After lunch we continued our work about being a great citizen. We read a story called "Tidy Up" about a badger who gets a little bit carried away cleaning up the woods. Then we started to brainstorm some ways that we can be good citizens here at school:
- Leave native plants to grow. Try not to pick them.
- Pick invasive plants (weeds).
- Clean up your own mess. Don't litter.
- Take care of our tools.
- Help others to clean up.
In music we got to play freeze dance and Mr. O'Reilly showed us his brand new guitar!
Dear parents, we are planning to harvest our garden on Thursday morning. If you would like to come join us we are always happy to have some extra adult hands to help with this job! We will plan to start getting ready first thing on Thursday morning and should be ready to head outside by 9:15ish.
