Little Scotties News

November 18, 2011

          This week we have been talking about different kinds of plants and what they need to live and grow.  We also discussed the different things they give us, such as tomatoes, flowers, watermelon, grapes, pineapples, bananas, apples, etc.  We also talked about how flowers need sunlight to grow. 

          This week we also read “Jack and the Beanstalk” and talked about Jacks magic beans.  After we discussed the book, we planted our own magic beans and documented what they looked like.  We also predicted what we thought would happen to our beans. 

          We have also been practicing our math by doing leaf math this week.  Some of us rolled a dice and counted the number of leafs out and glued them on our tree, while others rolled two dice and counted out leaves and added them together.  We had lots of fun doing this. 

Thanks to everyone who attend Family Literacy Night on Thursday.  We had lots of fun eating pizza and playing BINGO.
