The 2016-2017 school year is off to a great start. We've been busy learning about traditions in reading, place value in math, plant parts in science, the Olympics in Social Studies and the famous artists Monet and Van Gogh in art.
For science, after we learned about plant parts and the plant life cycle, we then studied the Scientific Method and are now experiencing it for ourselves with our first science experiment. We planted several kinds of seeds, made hypotheses about which ones would germinate first and have been making careful observations every day. Many of the seeds have now become seedlings and we transplanted them into soil this week. It was a fun, if messy, afternoon.
