Thank you, Mrs. Rasher (Scott's mom) and Ms. Bates (Ian's mom) for coming in to teach us about nature! Last week's lesson was called "Traveling Seeds." Students learned a lot... and this lesson was delicious too. Here's the description of the lesson from the Four Winds website (
http://www.fwni.org/):
Whenever you come home from a walk with burs on your socks or pop a jewelweed pod, you are playing a part in the dispersal of seeds. After a plant flowers and produces fertile seeds, those seeds must still find a spot to grow. We'll see what the inside of a seed looks like, how it holds all that is necessary for a new plant to grow, and explore outside to see the many different ways seeds move from place to place.

| The puppet show is a popular way to start each Four Winds lesson. Students learn from it and it's quite entertaining! |
 |
| Students made a snack mix (GORP) made entirely of fruits and nuts. We examined the seeds that we could see. Students each tried eating something new! |
 |
| Delicious! |
 |
| What types of seeds can your child tell you about? |
 |
| Examining the parts of a lima bean. |
 |
| Studying the seeds that are found in fruits, and eating it too! |
