Seeds

Today we asked students "Where do seeds come from?"

"seeds come from the store"
"seeds come from fruit like watermelons"
"seeds come from other plants"
"seeds come from the ground"
"seeds come from a life cycle"

We looked at pictures of different types of seeds and tried to match seeds to their parent plant.
Students spent time investigating a variety of seeds and we noticed that seeds are different sizes, shapes and colours.

Students have been working on math word problems about plants and flowers. They are representing their understanding with pictures, symbols, numbers and number lines and used strategies including skip counting to solve the following:

Every day in my garden 3 flowers bloom. How many flowers bloomed after 6 days?
I planted 4 seeds. Each seed grew into a flower with 5 petals. How many petals were there altogether?

This afternoon, students did a practice sketch of their Calgary building to prepare for a watercolor painting project. They are looking for shapes and details to accurately sketch the building.
