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.

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.
