We're Going on a Plant Hunt!

We searched the VAES campus grounds to see what types of plants we could find.  We were amazed at what we were able to observe in our own front yard.

We continued learning about plants and of course, planted something of our own.  To be honest, it has been a challenge since we have no window in our classroom.  I have a special lamp that is supposed to help, but nothing else works quite like the sun.

Measuring Like Royalty

We learned how people have been measuring for thousands of years.  We read a couple of great books called The Foot Book and How Tall, How Short, How far Away.  We were fascinated to know that the length of one foot was really... a king's foot!  We measured to see what 3 of our feet looked like and each measurement was unique.
