Today, students will finish the planning process for their edible plant cell projects. As a class, we went over each organelle, their function, and what food/candy could be used to represent the organelle on their model. Next week, we will build the edible cells and students will draw/label an additional model based on their unique candy cell creation. This is one of my favorite projects because students always get so excited to design their own cell and when they’re excited, they are participating in valuable learning!
Yesterday, some fifth graders helped finish up planting in The Dream Garden. There were a few Mint plants leftover that still needed a home, so several students volunteered to help dig, shovel, drill, and water them into their new space. The Dream Garden has been such an all-encompassing experience that has brought so much joy and real-world learning experience to fifth grade.
