The Life Cycle of a Plant

Currently in science, we are studying the life cycle of plants.  We have learned that the parts of a plant,  the flower, fruit, and seeds, help a plant reproduce.  We are trying to grow our own plants from bean seeds - no luck yet.  I think they know that we still have snow on the ground and are refusing to sprout!  Until then, we created our own garden in the hallway.  Students used our new I-pad minis (donated by Mr. Aronson to Lemmer)  to research a vegetable that they learned about in the book, The Vegetable Alphabet.  With a partner, they looked up pictures of the plant to learn how it grows, from root to seed.  Then they made a diagram with cut paper and labels.  I just hope that someday, in the not-so-distant future, the snow will leave and we can really plant!
