Good afternoon!

We finished our bean journals today.  We drew our plant, remembering all of its parts.  We talked about how our bean had changed.  We looked back at all of the pictures and observations we made over the past couple of weeks and talked about what changes we saw happening over that time.  Over the course of the project, we saw enormous growth in friends ability to deliberately draw what they saw.  Younger kids, who were not able to do this at all before, showed a great deal of growth!  Kids also improved their ability to use words to describe and write about something they were observing from life.

All of our bean plant experiments are taped to our cubbies to take home along with our bean journals.  You can try planting them in a pot at home and continue the experiment…or discontinue it…its up to you:)

At our welcome activity today we puzzled over different ways we could fit a variety of loose parts together.  We used washers, bolts, knobs, rings and triangles to tinker with.
