Readers to Leaders on PhotoPeach
Our principal Mrs. Phillips rewarded students for reaching their reading goal for the Million Word Campaign on Tuesday. She was duct taped to the wall for two hours while she read. Students thoroughly enjoyed the sight! Please encourage your child to keep reading to meet our next goal! Mrs. Phillips you are our Superhero!

Bean Biologists Part Two
Bean Biologists Part Two on PhotoPeach
We have enjoyed every minute of learning about The Life Cycle of a Bean Plant.
Each student was given a Ziploc bag and a seed to place by the window. Over the past couple of weeks we have observed how a seed has grown into a plant. We also planted seeds in soil and place one by the window and one in the closet.
Our discussion covered several topics. What do seeds need to grow? What roots are for? Why are plants important? We discussed what we noticed was happening and why we thought it was happening.
Each student drank with a straw to show how important roots are. The straw represented the root system and the drink represented the water. The students began on the floor in a ball as seeds and drank the water to grow tall like plants. It was a fun experiment!
As you can see from our slideshow some seeds grew faster than others.
Overall it has been an incredible experience seeing a seed grow into a plant.
Ask your Bean Biologist what they learned.
