This past Friday, our kiddo's visited a local farm for pumpkin patch fun!  It was a perfect day, perfect weather, perfect opportunity for the students to view first hand....Plants!

For the next two weeks we will discuss Plants in science.  We will talk about life cycles, needs, uses, scientists who study plants, planting seeds, and even trophism!  What?!?!?!?! I have never taught Trophism to first graders but I'm going to give it a go....thanks Next Generation Science Standards!!!
Actually Trophism is really cool to learn about and I do believe that the kids will have fun learning something new, and no...I don't actually expect them to know the word trophism.  We are just introducing it. 

For our Seed to Plant Adventure, I have created a 2 week unit of study to use.  I will use a lot of youtube videos (especially with trophism), google images(roots busting through concrete...cool!), fiction, and non-fiction books to round out this study.
