May Homework Project

I meant to send home the information for the May homework projects this morning, but unfortunately, after all the excitement of evacuating the school for a while because of the earthquake, the information didn't end up making it home!  I will post the information here for anyone who was interested in getting started and then send home a paper copy next week as well.

May Homework Project

This month we are turning into plant scientists!

This month, we are learning all about the parts of a plant and what plants need to grow.  For the May family project students are being asked to find a plant growing in their yard (or near their home) and observe it.  Based on their observations, they are to create a labelled diagram of the plant they observed.

The diagram should include the following:
    the name of the plant (preferably in French!)

    la tige (the stem)

    les racines (the roots)

    les feuillles (the leaves)

    la fleur (the flower – if it has one)

   

They might want to let us know what the ‘needs’ of the plant are (i.e., la terre, le soleil, l’air et l’eau) and any other interesting points that they discovered while observing their plant.
