Plentiful Plants & Amazing Adverbs

Our knowledge about plants and pollination has been sprouting the past few weeks during science. We began our plant unit by learning about the parts of a flower and seed, including creating diagrams...

We then classified which part of a plant the fruits and vegetables we eat come from...

Students created "Lifecycle of a Plant" wheels... 

and we placed lima beans and wet cotton balls in plastic cups so we could watch a plant germinate and examine the inside of a seed...

The class conducted an experiment using coffee filter "flowers", paprika "pollen", and a bee puppet to see how a bee pollinates flowers...

and we read lots of books about plants including The Tiny Seed, Time for Kids: Plants, and From Seed to Plant...

In language arts, we've been learning all about adverbs. We began the unit by defining an adverb and filling the word with adverbs we brainstormed together...

Students identified adverbs in sentence strips, then classified them as describing "how", "when", or "where"...

 A fun site we visited to review adjectives and adverbs that students can play at home is
