Back from Spring Break

How was your Spring Break?  We had an exciting and restful break.  Some of us traveled to visit families while others went to places like Six Flags.  No matter what we did, we all had FUN because we did not have to go to school.  

Now we are getting ready to take the Reading and Math TAKS test.  To help us prepare, we are doing rotations into other teachers classes every Wednesday.  Also, we are charting our progress.  We have a goal to all achieve commended.

Seeds Today, Tomatoes Tomorrow

Have you ever grown hybrid tomatoes?  This week in Mrs. Nelson's class we planted tomato seeds.  Mrs. Wagner brought the seeds, soil, and egg cartons.  First, we put some soil in the egg cartons.  Then, we each got to drop two seeds per cup.  We were surprised how small the seeds were.  Next, we covered the seeds with 1/4 inch of soil.  Finally, we lightly misted the soil with water from a spray bottle.  We are expecting them to sprout in three to seven days.  We can't wait to see them grow!
