Lima Beans

Today we did a lot of fun things!  We started the day with art, where we started making a spider that we are sewing buttons onto to be its feet and head.  Then we had our YouthFriends from BHS come to visit during math class. We worked on a really hard math puzzle all together.  Then we had chili for lunch.  After lunch, we had the classroom store, where we got to spend the pretend money that we have earned in our pretend checkbooks.  After that, we checked out our lima beans that we planted one week ago.  Some of them were growing (the ones that had been dried) and some of them were not growing (the ones from in a can).  We had also put lima beans in wet paper towels inside of baggies on the window sill and we looked at those today.  All of them had roots.  Some of them had leaves and some of them were moldy! Almost everyone's lima beans in the baggies had started to grow, in just 7 days!  Then after recess, we had library class, and we got to go to the AR store today and spend our AR points that we earn by reading books and passing tests!
These are pictures of our lima beans, and of the new seeds that we planted today (sunflowers, daisies, cornflowers, and columbines).
