Week 7- Seeds

Sorry to say, but Mrs. Ornes has somehow lost the week 7 pictures on her computer. If I find them I will post the pictures. This week we planted lima bean seeds and they are growing!!! The class is very excited to learn about the plant life cycle! We also made paper flowers and learned parts of a flower (stem, petals, leaves). The students also wrote their names with seeds! Hope you enjoy these projects at home! I promise I will do my best to not misplace pictures.
