Animal Adaptations

This week in science we have been discussing animal adaptations. We have been talking about ways animals survive in their environment by adapting to their surroundings. One way animals do this is through camouflage. The students colored a butterfly to match the surroundings of the classroom and then we looked around the room to see how well we camouflaged our butterflies. It was a lot of fun. Check out the pictures!

Sowing Seeds

As we wrap up our study on plants, I thought I would share with you some pictures of an experiment we did to see which types of seeds would germinate fastest.  We "planted" radish seeds, pinto beans, sunflower seeds, and rye grass.  We found out that radish seeds germinated the fastest and that plants will begin to grow without soil but won't last for long.  We had a lot of fun.  Enjoy the pictures!

Selfies with students

I had a great time at the back to school carnival and it was wonderful spending time with students and families. I am looking forward to all our adventures together this summer!
