We read another nonfiction book about plants today. We learned that all plants need the sun to live. The sun is combined with water and carbon dioxide in the leaf to make sugars and then oxygen is released to give us air to breathe. All of our food was also connected back to the sun. After we compared several types of plants, including two types of spider plants we looked about several baby plants. The kids had to select the parent plant the babies came from. Once everyone found the parent spider plant we went outside to plant our "babies."
Now I can't let an amazing opportunity to write be overlooked, so once all the baby plants were nestled in their new potted homes the kiddos all took a blank book and wrote about how to plant a spider plant. This year of Writer's Workshop is paying off as the students use their bank of sight words and knowledge of information writing to create a wonderful book.
