We are continuing to learn about living and non-living things in science. Here is some footage of us being "scientists" and observing the parts of plants. After we observed, we drew our own diagram of a plant and labeled the different parts. We love science experiments!

We are starting a new genre of writing this week...Functional writing. This kind of writing gives directions and explains how to get things done. Have your child verbally give you directions on how to do something (such as tie their shoes or ride a bike etc...). They will be expected to describe in sequence with details, the steps that one must take to make or do a particual thing. We appreciate all of your support from home!
