Gardening by Room 156

We have been enjoying getting our garden ready for planting.  It was a lot of hard work to clean it, but we did learn a many things about root systems.  Today we planted sunflower seeds, green peppers, asters and carrots. We had to use our math skills by measuring the garden, dividing it in half and spacing the seeds properly.  Miss Erickson's class will be using the other half of the garden. We are looking forward to harvesting it in the Fall.

Sydney and Lucas' presentation on mummification.  They ended it with "mummifying Lucas".

James did a presentation on his research of how pyramids were built.  It's amazing how they were able to build it so long ago.

We are going to the ZOO on Friday, May 31st.

Students have been researching an animal of their choice that is presently at the Assiniboine Park Zoo, in Winnipeg.  All their information, with pictures, has been put into a beautiful brochure that students have presented to the class.  We are hoping to make many connections with the additional information that we will find out at the zoo on our field trip.  We are all super excited!!!
