Exploring Plants and Soil

We used our five senses to compare and contrast planting, lumus and clay soil. Ask your child how they are alike and different.

After the unit study of plants. Students choose their performance assessment. The choices were; vocabulary flip book, informative story or poem about plants. As a class, we read a variety of stories to use a mentor text. We used Scholastic News, "Plant to Seed" by Gail Gibbons, "The Tiny Seed" by Eric Carle and our science textbook.
