Plants, Rainforest, and Subtraction

We enjoyed watching our plants grow and bloom!  After our plants grew flowers we learned about pollination and cross pollinated our plants.  We waited patiently and were so excited to see seed pods growing on most of our plants after our cross pollination!
 
 
 
 
 
During our study on plants we've also been learning about the rainforest.  We've learned about different plants that live in the rainforest and created lianas and epiphytes (air plants) to create a rainforest environment in our classroom.
 
 
This week we began focusing on subtraction and counting backwards.  The students learned a new math game, Roll and Record Subtraction.  This game encourages counting backwards and helps with subtraction fluency.
