Bean Plants

By:

As part of the Science curriculum for 4^th and 5^th grade, the students planted pinto beans and watched the plants grow!  Each day the students eagerly entered the room to observe the growth.  Students monitored the plants for about a month and then took the plants home.  

Third grade enjoyed watching lima beans grow.  They measured the growth of the plants, but they also learned a lot about watering the right amount--not too much or too little.  Many students took the plants home and planted in family gardens.
