Reading
During our reading time this week we read the book From Seed to Plant. We learned the vocabulary words germination, pollination, sprout, and soil. This book taught us the life cycle of a plant. We used this new knowledge to complete many different activties including labeling a plant. This book was nonfiction so we looked at the different features of a nonfiction story such as labels on pictures, glossary, and index.

Our weekly reader connected with our Reading because it was also about plants. In the weekly reader we sequenced the steps to planting and growing a bean plant. We also connected with math by looking at the number of seeds in a piece of fruit (grown from a plant) and graphing it. Then we read the graph to answer questions.

Math
In math this week we worked on measurement and data. We started graphing the information we have found and then using our graphs to answer questions. We focused on questions such as which group has more, which group has less, which group has more than (a specific) other group.
