Our research has begun.
We are utilizing our writing workshop to teach research skills, and allow time for students to learn and write about their chosen topics. Researcher ask questions and find answers to their questions. Researchers read, then close their books and think, "What did I just learn?" Researchers use their own words to write ideas. Researchers share their ideas with their peers for review.

Scenes from a garden...
our garden! The next phase of our project includes maintaining and harvesting our garden. The arugula was out of control when we returned from spring break!

What is a weed? We decided that it is anything that we didn't plant. Pull it, and get the roots!
We saw some evidence of animal life as well: a hatched caterpillar chrysalis, a humming bird, lots of bugs and snail holes of leaves. Our literacy focus will be to research the answers to our many wonderings about our garden. Stay tuned.

We started Science with Mrs. Lee.
They started with discussing the different parts of a plant, and then a seed dissection.
Science Notebooks and Critique
Our students have been organizing their observations and growing ideas in their science notebooks. One day before break we took time to critique our garden observations with a co-created rubric.
