We are starting a really exciting new project this week. We will be making soda bottle terrariums in the classroom as a way to learn about living things. We will learn about photosynthesis and be able to show how the sun's energy is used for producers and consumers, and that plants get what they need for growth mostly from air, sunlight, and water. Your child came home with a list of supplies they need. Each student needs a clear 2 liter bottle with the cap. Each student also has another assignment for a shared item, such as potting soil or small rocks. Our planting day is Tuesday Feb. 17, so please make sure supplies are in by that day. That is the day after a Monday holiday, so don't let that sneak up on you!
We are reading a biography in class, Mr. Blue Jeans, which is about Levi Strauss. We will make some things out of denim in a few weeks, so each student will need a pair of jeans that he or she can cut up and use the denim to make an item. It will be a fun way to put what we are reading about into practice.
Thank you for sending these things in!
Have a great week!
