ROOSEVELT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Roosevelt
is buzzing with spring activity! We have
studied about the parts of plants and their functions. Students have been drawing and diagramming
plants and have learned about simple and compound leaves, roots, stems, and
flowers. Room 22 spent some time
observing and looking inside carnations to see how the stems, nodes, flowers,
and stamen are connected. It was
interesting to see the tiny “straws” that draw the water from the roots to the
leaves.
Now
we are moving on to how animals meet their needs. The students can now tell if an animal is a
herbivore or a carnivore by observing its teeth.
Classes
are busy preparing for open house on May 2nd. Room 32 has studied communities and has posted
art that depicts sights right here in our own Kingsburg. Several classes are studying ocean animals as
part of our animal unit, and the insect world is being explored in Room 30.
Our
Character Counts trait of the month is caring.
Our students are learning more about how to be kind and
considerate. It’s great to see them
thinking of our school as a team. As
teammates we encourage one another to be the best we can be!
