Learning About Plants!

This week, our focus was on learning about the Life Cyle of Plants.  Students were asked to look at a group of pictures and decide which were plants and which were not plants.  We discovered that plants were often green in color, need sun and water to live, and are living and grow.  We also compared our own life cycle as humans to the life cycle of a plant.  Students learned that flowers start as a seed, grow into a stem, then grow leaves, then flowers, and sometimes, fruit.  We will continue our unit next week as students have the opportunity to watch their own plants grow. 

Students completed a sunflower project with our Boulan Buddies this week. We talked about the parts of sunflowers (stem, flower, leaves, seed, roots) etc. and compared them to other types of plants.

We also drew our own flowers and labeled them with their appropriate parts!
