The Venus Flytraps welcomed all their grandparents into their classroom for Grandparents' Day! They were so excited to share all the fun activities around the classroom with their special visitors. With their grandparents', the Flytraps decorated picture frames and talked about their family traditions. It was so nice having all the grandparents and guests visit! Read Below to Find Out How We Chose Our Class Name! First, we reviewed the parts of a plant that we had learned in science. Then, we recalled what we knew about plants from seeing them in our homes and community. We further discussed parts of a plant, what plants need to grow, where plants grow, and the different types of plants. Next, we became “plant detectives” and observed and photographed plants in the communities near our homes. At school, we also put on our detective badges, got our magnifying glasses, and searched for plants in our community around Gillen Brewer School. We then made a list of the plants we found in both communities and compared them to one another. Then, we made a list of plants that interested us and wanted to learn more about. We discussed how trees help us meet our wants and needs. We also studied a wide variety of meat eating plants, including sundews, venus flytraps, and pitcher plants. Last, we narrowed down our plant choices and voted to become the Venus Flytraps.
