**A plant is a living thing.** **Plants get their energy from the sun. They grow in soil and need water. Most plants are green and have leaves.**
 * Lesson 1: What is a plant and why are they important? **

**Using the pictures below, can you explain how plants are important? **

**﻿Ms Gaby and class say : ** **Hello Ms Froehlich, came across this lovely story which simply explains what a simple tree can offer to a little boy................. man................ and at the end to an old man. Hope your little ones will love it. ** **Ms. Gaby, thanks for sharing, hopefully we will be able to see your video tomorrow.

Lesson 2 Growing Lima Beans We were able to view the inside of a lima bean on Day 1. Day 2 we will follow the directions posted on how to make a Green House, placing a lima bean on damp paper towel and placing it in a zip lock bag. We will begin recording our bean's growth. media type="youtube" key="3nRVZPJdXOo?rel=0" height="750" width="960"media type="custom" key="8979068" Lesson 3: The Reason For A Flower After learning all about different seeds and the life cycle of the seed, the boys and girls will be learning where the seeds come from after listening to the story The Reason For A Flower media type="youtube" key="Z_NVJvPqxlM?rel=0" height="390" width="480"

Today we learned about the job of the root (to hold the plant in place and to take up water). Then we listened to the book The Carrot Seed. If you look at the Online Story page, there is a video of the book being read. I've challenged the boys and girls in my class to have the volume off and read the book to their parents instead of listening to it.

We are doing an experiment to see how the stem of a plant carrie water up from the roots to the leaves. We came back from vacation and discovered our beans had begun to sprout while we were gone. Today some of us decided to plant them.
