Week of March 31, 2014

New Plants is the name of our new science unit for the spring quarter.  This week we have been learning about what plants need to live, the parts of a plant, and the plant life cycle.  We planted Brassica, a fast-growing plant designed especially for science classes, and we planted a lawn, which is a combination of rye grass seed and alfalfa seeds.  The students are using the iDiary app on the iPads to journal about their plant observations. The student botanists are eagerly awaiting the emergence of the first sprouts!
A favorite morning activity as students enter the Studio, is to watch the live bald eagle cam.
