Parent Letter

This week we have been working hard learning about many different subjects. One of the things we have been learning about is plants. We have learned what is in a plant cell like chloroplasts, cell wall, and nucleus. Each of us made a slide with onion peels and looked at the cells. The cells looked really cool! They looked like squares. We also learned that plants can make their own food by doing photosynthesis. Now our class is making plant posters. Each of us in our group has a part we are working on. The parts are plant cells, diagram of a plant, lifecycle, and photosynthesis. Another subject we have been working on is poetry. We went out to the football field and took pictures of things we wanted to write about. The next day we wrote prose, sentences, telling about our picture. Then yesterday we started writing our poem. Now we are finishing the poem and publishing it. Finally we have started to plan for our conferences. Most of us are ready to talk about math and reading. Next week we will finish and be ready to talk with you about what we have been doing all year. This is what we have been doing this week.


Thanks for reading,
