Sunflowers

Science: We got together with Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Chiappe, and Miss Ciampa's classes to introduce our unit on Seeds and Flowers. After an introduction of planting seeds, students broke up into two groups to complete two science projects. The first activity was creating a book of "How to Plant a Seed". The six step process was colored, cut, and collated by students. The next activity was actually planting a sunflower seed. Students filled cups with soil, made a hole with their finger, dropped in the seed, put in more soil, patted it down, and watered their seed.

Multicultural Presentation: Mrs. Luann came into our class and did a presentation about the culture, symbols, and life in China. She brought photos which the students really enjoyed as well as some items for students to pass around - incense, crickets, scrolls, etc.

Mother's Day Wrapping: Using tissue paper, stickers, and yarn, students wrapped their own cookbooks that were created for our mothers. We attached our sunflower cards, and students placed them in their cubbies to take home and give to our mothers. (oops, mom, sorry I ruined the surprise - it's in the mail)
