General Happenings: Planting Fun!

Recently, we've been putting our green thumbs to work :) Using our Kindergarten fundraising money, we've purchased soil, seeds, and planting accessories to delve into some planting experiments. Yesterday, Miss Smith taught us a science lesson all about planting :) We learned that plants need water, food, and sun to survive. We conducted an experiment about which type of base would be the best to grow our beans in: moss, sand, or soil! We even recorded our predictions :)








Dirt had the most votes!






Today, we started to keep track of what our plants look and feel like. We're going to record our observations every day to help us see the progression.


Last week, we got a chance to plant some things of our own! We planted grass, carrots, and beans, and everyone will have their own :)









Special Events: Arts Night!

This is the second year I've co-organized an Arts Night here at Gatestone. We've created a fun evening for all to attend to watch some of the amazing talent we have here in our school! My Junior Dance team will be performing 3 routines throughout the show. Our dress rehearsal will take place during the day, so all students will have a chance to watch it then. Please come out and support The Arts!! We hope to see you there :)
