Ms. Szymaszek’s Investigations:
Do we need some more bandaids?
March 5-9
In
continuing our exploration with the amaryllis, the children noticed the flower
had bloomed. In observing the flower,
the children noticed that the flower was leaning over. After lifting the flower stalk up, the
children noticed the leaves and the stem had cracked. “Oh no, it’s broken. We need more bandaids.” “We need to make it stand up. We should tie the pieces together.” Using yarn and cardboard tubes from the
open-ended shelves, the children created a support system for the plant.
