Interiors
Took 3-1 out for check out the greenhouse space. Measured the length and width of the interior while we were there.
I have to scan some of the student work - but I was impressed with the decisions that were being made!
While I was outside - I realized that I probably need to cover the bottom of the greenhouse with a weed blocking fabric. Oops.
The student plans for the interior layout were very creative.

End Walls
Here are a few shots of the end walls being constructed. Thank you Ken McShane!
The osprey stopped to check it out.
Looks good!
What do seeds need?
Since March, students in grade 3 have been investigating seed.
We started with a "seed-search" looking at different fruits to find, count, and record their observable characteristics.
Later in the week - we took a closer look at onions. "Where are the seeds?" Was a question that puzzled students. (Also - a potato)
As luck would have it - Mr. Capaldi had some onions at different stages in his kitchen!

Our little "onion-buddies" sparked the interest of a few students who dug deep in their kitchen and brought in their own.
Finally, we read from Ruth Heller's book "The Reason for a Flower" and made some scientific illustrations of flowers. It was our first step in identifying parts of a flower.
The flowers really had an effect on the students. So much so - that from now on, we must include fresh flowers on all our tables.
We then read from another Ruth Heller books - "Plants that Never Bloom" - and took a walk to find moss and lichen over near the Lawn Avenue School.
Students should be able to tell you all about seeds and what they need - so when you see them - ask them.
