Next week we will begin our next unit in science in which students will be introduced to the life cycle of a plant. Plants have life cycles that include sprouting, growing to full size, forming fruits and flowers, shedding seeds, and eventually dying. Students will be documenting the growth of their plant in a daily journal.

Dear Parents of Ms. Lamberts 2nd grade class, Next week we will begin our next unit in science in which students will be introduced to the life cycle of a plant! Having an opportunity to grow their own bean sprout here in our classroom over the course of several weeks. I have included this information below because it is important for you to have an idea of what your child is getting out of each of the lessons and subjects we cover in class. The big idea is the subject of our lesson, and the content standard is what your child will have an understanding of by the end of this lesson. Big Idea: Structures and Functions of Living Organisms. Content Standard: Plants have life cycles that include sprouting, growing to full size, forming fruits and flowers, shedding seeds (which begins a new cycle), and eventually dying. The details of the life cycle are different for different plants. Why are your children learning about the life cycle of a plant? Plants are a great way to introduce what a life cycle is to 2nd grade students. It is important to understand that all living things grow and change as they progress through their life cycle. At the end of this unit students will be able to sequence and label the stages of a plants life. Over the course of the unit each student will be documenting the growth of their plant in a daily journal. Students will summarize observations of what they see happening, label the parts of their plant, document height, and draw pictures of the changes taking place to their tiny bean seed as it sprouts. This will help your child to understand what is happening and in the end be able to see the entire growth process unfold as a whole. Practicing keeping journal and making observations is a tool students will use in almost all future science classes. What can you do? Here are some websites that are relatable to this lesson and will be helpful for your child to play with the different activities and games on the sites. This little extra practice will go along way in class! Once on these websites find the plant life cycle games on the pages listed below. http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/gamesactivities.html jr.brainpop.com Yours in Learning, Ms. Lambert jasmine.lambert@email.wsu.edu - (123) 456-7891 - Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions!
