Students have been learning about the period in Art history dominated by those artists known as the “Impressionists”. We read some stories and looked at some works by Vincent Van Gogh. Students then re-created their versions of “Sunflowers”.
Grade 1/2 Experiences at Rosser Elementary
We look forward to having you join us in our classroom as the students showcase their work with you!!
The students have a ‘menu’ of things to go through with you. I hope you enjoy seeing how much they have grown this past school year.
Students put beans (three Lima and one pole bean) into a ziplock bag which contains a damp paper towel. We will be watching the changes to see if the beans sprout, and how long the different stages of growth take.
Students will be posting their bean bag photos on their individual blog folios.
We put celery into food coloured water to see what might happen. We also split the stem of a white flower and put each half into a different container – one with red and white and one with blue food colouring.
The next day we noticed changes in the plants.
We learned that stems have straw-like structures inside their stems. The job of the stem is to hold up the plant and to suck water up into the plant.
