Yesterday in science class we planted real lima beans. Half of us planted dried lima beans and half of us planted lima beans from out of a can, to see if they can grow. We planted them in plastic cups and put them on the windowsill in the sun. We can't wait until they sprout!
Everyone also "planted" a lima bean in a plastic baggie, wrapped in a wet paper towel. We are going to see how long it takes for the beans to sprout without soil.
We are practicing making graphs in math - so far we have been using pictographs, bar graphs, and double bar graphs. We have been making graphs after we survey the class, and graphs that show our class eye colors and hair color.
In Social Studies, we just started learning about the NorthEast region of the U.S. Yesterday and today we watched a Discovery Channel video clip about the crops and land in the NE area. We also made a map of the states and their capitols.
In writing, we are writing stories that explain how to do a specific activity. In class yesterday, we worked together to describe how to make a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Everyone chose their own idea to write their story about.
Today we finished the book we've been reading out loud in class, "Extra Credit" by Andrew Clements. It was about a boy in Afghanistan and a girl in America who become pen pals.
