Reading- Inferring, we are working on knowing what our Schema is and how it helps us to infer unknown words and things that the text doesn't exactly tell us or show us.

I hope to see you all this Thursday for our Living Museum 9:00-10:00. This is a stop by and browse, you don't need to stay for the full hour unless you want to. :)

Parts of a plant

Today we went exploring for plants. Once the kids found their plant, they dug them up wanting to keep the roots. 

We brought our plants inside, we drew our plant and labeled the parts of our plant. 

After they drew and labeled the parts of their plant, they posted to their KidBlog. 

Check them out, these kids are amazing!
