We’ve been making connections to the real world when it comes to shapes. We discovered even tasty snacks can be 3 dimensional. Check out Seesaw to see the 3D examples your child found on the playground.

Going Green with a Green Thumb
Our recycle PBL has allowed us to do so many hands on experiments these last few weeks. We continued our natural resource discussion on Thursday and began talking about how plants are a very important part of our environment. We had 7 pounds of recyclable material in just 1 day (hooray!!), so we decided to put some of those items to good use… other than sending them to the recycling plant, of course. We combined our learning of plants and our love for reusing items and created container gardens. Students planted flowers and vegetables in recycled containers. Check our their planting experience!
