Everything's coming up....

     To go along with our Living Things unit we planted seeds this week.  For the first time, I decided to have the students plant herb seeds instead of flowers.  The students picked from basil, rosemary, chives, thyme, and parsley to plant.  The students will have fun observing the differences between the plants.  If the seeds sprout we will send them home for you to enjoy.

We've been enjoying the chapter book, Young Canaller by Gerry Stafford.  It's a realistic fiction story about a young boy who works on a packet boat on the canal.  The students are enjoying hearing about the canal from long ago.  If you have never gone on the canal boat tour I would encourage you to do that this summer.  The students are all excited about learning some of the history of Lockport.
