Project - January 30, 2013

Today we divided project up into two separate parts. First, the kids did some research on the iPads for their Exhibitions of Mastery. I made a packet of questions and found some good websites that have a lot of information written in a fairly kid-friendly way. The kids looked at the websites and started learning more about their vegetables.

In the second half, the kids learned about leaves. They also tasted some leaves. They ate radicchio, chicory, and rainbow chard. I'm trying to help them see that we eat all parts of plants, though not usually all parts of any one plant. Then, they continued to work on their plant models. Many students are finished with their roots, stems, and leaves! They are very cool, and are starting to look like the plants they are supposed to be!

Below, you'll see a carrot, onion and pumpkin vine!
