Our Marigold Observations Are Complete
We planted our marigold seeds five weeks ago and have been observing their progress ever since. As a true science experiment goes, some of our seeds did not sprout and some of our marigolds did not make it over the course of the experiment. The kids took their plants home today. If their plant did not make it, they brought home some marigold seeds to attempt growing a new plant at home.
Our Radishes are Growing!
Our radishes are growing so well and looking great. We can even see the radishes poking up through the soil! This is the best radish year yet. They will certainly impress the judges at the fair next Thursday!
Many Thanks!
Thank you to all the parents and children for the wonderful teacher appreciation week! I enjoyed all the surprises throughout the week. The flowers are beautiful and the gift was very thoughtful and generous! I loved reading all of the cards from the kids and I will cherish them always! Messages from the kids really make a teacher’s day!
Seed Mosaic Work
We have started working on our seed mosaics. Stay tuned for the finished products coming soon. Quality work takes time!
Native American Beads
We have been studying Native American Cultures in Social Studies. We have learned that many tribes used beads for jewelry and decorations on clothing. Some tribes even used bead as a form of currency! We made our own Native American beaded jewelry utilizing our work with patterns in math.
Fabulous Fruit!
Thank you for all the fabulous fruit! We can not wait to enjoy these delicious treats!
Love, Mrs. Drinkward and Ms. Kolodin
