THURS. MARCH 27

SCIENCE K - we did Unit 13 lessons 1 & 2, the farm lessons. learned about what you might find on a farm - barns, animals, crops, a silo. we looked at Ella's farm model. we learned about the different types of farms - livestock or crop farms. chicken farms are poultry farms (see if they remember that!) and the farmer will sell eggs and chicken meat. dairy farms are for selling milk or milk products only - they kept wanting to say that they would sell the cows for meat, too. we looked at wheat farms and cotton farms (they've all see those around here). they had fun with the worksheets.

SCIENCE 2 - we reviewed the bean experiments and since the bean sprout in a box didn't work out, we just talked about what would have happened. the experiment with the roots growing down was different for everyone, so we recorded those results. we learned about the parts of a flower and what their jobs are - pistil, sepal, and stamens. I'll go over this again because it was a little hard to get them to focus. I'll try to find a better flower to dissect also. and we'll make the model (I forgot my bag o'materials for that!). I'm going to try doing 2 Science lessons on Wednesdays because I think I'll have better results with History in the afternoons on Thursdays.
