Plants Everywhere {and a little news}

Our district gave us today off since yesterday was Easter and it has been a lovely day.  I wanted to share some of our plant activities from last week.  You can find these activities and more in my new plant unit on TPT.  Click the pic to take a look at it.

We, of course, are growing plants.  We are recording our observations in our plant journals.


We are singing I'm a Little Seed and acting it out.
The song and motions are in my unit, too!



 Labeling the parts of a seed - the experiment and labels are in my unit as well.


We created a model of a plant and labeled the parts of a plant (also in the unit).




Now onto my news...
I have been holding this little bit of news inside of me for a while now until I was given the go to announce it...

I have been asked to help open our brand new campus in my district!  The school is still being built, but will be finished in July.  I am very excited about this opportunity, though I am sad to leave my current school.  I know it will be the best opportunity in the long run.  I am still going to be in Kindergarten {Yippee!!!!} and will get to be in a dual immersion school {how exciting!} 

Happy Monday, everyone!

  8. Hey Angela! A dual immersion school is where students are mixed (English and Spanish), so that both populations can learn both languages. The dual immersion teachers speak both languages to help English students learn Spanish and the other way around. Students learn to speak, read, and write in both languages. It's a neat concept and my hubby and I want our kiddos to be in a dual immersion school one day (we don't have children yet) and we want our kiddos to go to work with me, so this is a perfect opportunity. :)
