Soil, Water and Plants.

We are getting ready for Spring with our Plant, Soil and Water studies, and using our math and language skills along the way.

The real world application of the skills the students are learning in their core classes connect their learning to Wellness and Ecology, provide the opportunity to use the skills, and give students an understanding of how the skills are used outside of the classroom.

Third grade will be spending most of the semester becoming botanists.  They are investigating the landscape around the school to discover the plants we have.  And of course, this gives us many opportunities to use the outdoors for our classroom!

Second grade is starting with general soil studies.  They are digging in and finding what makes soil.  

Of course, it's all about the grubs, which are the larval stage of beetles, not worms.  Notice the legs, worms don't have legs.  Every 2nd grader will tell you that.
