I am working on a post about Ag Day. It may take a couple of days to finish because I need to upload pictures. The day was great and the weather was perfect. I especially enjoyed watching the kids milk a cow, search for the queen bee, and brush the horse.

We had the shocking conclusion to our science experiment on vascular and nonvascular plants. We discovered that celery (a type of vascular plant) has tubes that carry the water up through the plant. The proof was in the experiment. We discovered that the water level went down and the celery gained mass because the water was in it. We studies the moss carefully (a type of nonvascular plant) and looked at the rhizoids that are used to pass water from cell to cell. It was also interesting to see the spore cases that were on top of the moss. Spore cases are used by some plants to reproduce.

I don't have a lot of time to post everything we did today. I do want to share a math game we played today called "Dive In." The students worked with a partner to solve multiplication problems and move their divers across a swimming pool. Students were allowed to keep their game board so they can play with their family at home. It is a great way to practice multiplication.
