Where Do New Plants Come From Wednesday

Today we did some serious investigating in the Science Lab.  We dissected flowers, identifying their reproductive and structural parts.  We extracted chlorophyll from the leaves, located eggs in the ovary, and tried our best to identify each part.  The diagram from our text was misleading, as it showed a different type of flower. I have posted some photographs on edmodo that are helpful. We will look at them tomorrow morning.

This evening at home......

• Complete the My Math homework found on pp.397-398
• Complete the Science packet and the "flower power" sheet.
• Read for pleasure for 25 minutes or more. Fill out your reading log and get a signature.
• Don't forget about ST Math at home, Extra Math, and Study Island!

*ST MATH is now tablet and i- Pad friendly!   A note went home today.
*We are practicing our facts each morning!  In January, Disney will hold its first annual Math Bee.  4th grade students will compete using addition, subtraction and multiplication facts.  

We need:

* Gold Bond paper for Gold Cards

* A new "bouncy ball" for classroom discussions. Our little globe has sprung a leak!
