Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Concept Maps and Spruce seedlings

Students worked on several things.
Each class planted 2 blue spruce in pots. We will keep these indoors until the spring and then we will plant them outside.
Each student received a concept map, or flow chart, to complete. This is an excellent tool to use to study for the test that we will be having later this week on Chapter 1 in the Bacteria and Plant book.
There is no homework
