Water Gardens and Animal Tracks

The first graders show off their water garden.

The first graders have combined literature and science!  After reading the story "First Grade Ladybugs", they made their own water garden out of the tops of a turnip, a carrot, a parsnip, and a radish.  They are really growing - well, all except the parsnip!

Hard at work studying animals, these first graders display some animal tracks they've studied.

In addition to their water garden, the first grade scientists are also studying animals.  They are learning about habitats, animal tracks, and how birds use their beaks to eat.
