March is here!

 

 

 

It’s science fair time.  This year we are doing a class experiment with seeds.  Where will seeds grow the best? 

In a sunny window or in a dark box.

We decided to track and compare our seeds’ growth for 15 days.

During this time we will be exploring what plants need to grow and the life cycle of a plant.

 

On March 3 we went on an in-school field trip with the 1^st grade team to see Wildlife Wonders.  This was a listen and touch session all about Georgia animals.  Take a look at our slide show to see what animals were there.
