Plant a Smile at Pelion Outdoor Classroom!

All these 5th graders learned all about photosynthesis in 4th grade--they even remembered chlorophyll is the reason leaves are green. Students were able to break the leaf tissue to rub out the chlorophyll and other pigments found in petals of flowers.

Last week 2 students did not know either parents cell phone and we could not find it in their bookbag. It's a good idea to include a tag or write a cell phone number in one of your child's books (that they know/keep in a specific spot) in case their phone runs out of battery or they have not memorized your contact info. I also invite parents to program my cell so we can txt or call in case you're late for pickup time. Also repeating, PICKUP IS between 4-4:15pm. If your student is still at the garden at 4:20pm I will walk them the front staircase of the school.

One of our first lessons when 6th graders return in the fall is observing BIOVARIABILITY in sunflowers. We also touch on flower parts (again), pollination (again) and phytoremediation. fibonacci video https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/nvmm-math-pifibonacci/pi-the-fibonacci-sequence/?fbclid=IwAR21N4EIadGVF4Gclj-sB4usvqnn--Z-cWPj76oT0WXuHNHMk4clJsjEDYE

We were super excited to hear more POETRY in the garden! MrsJohnson brought out several classes to share short readings in Spanish and enjoy some bilingual storybooks under the sunshine.
