On Tuesday, April 17, 2012, our students enjoyed Merrill Road Elementary School's outdoor learning area to plant bean seeds, which is a part of our Science unit on Living Things: Plants and Animals. Then, as a part of our Writer's Workshop unit on Fuctional Writing, the children wrote the steps they took to plant the seeds. We all enjoyed working outside on such a beautiful day. We will definitly use this outdoor learning area, again!
Our bean plants will sit in the sun by the window for a few weeks. Students will record how their plants are growing by drawing and writing in their Science Journals. Later, the children will bring their bean plants home.
