Plant Inquiry and Provocations
The grade 3's are beginning a guided plant inquiry. They have a variety of seeds planted and growing in our library. We also have a provocation table with a variety of plant clippings and seeds. Please encourage your students to visit our seedlings and provocations, and to share their observations and/or wonders when visiting the library.

We will run the Blue Spruce program for students in Kindergarten to grade 2 and the Silver Birch Express program for grades 3 to 5. We will be having a Silver Birch Express book club for those interested students in grades 3 to 5. If you are willing to become an "expert" with one of the Silver Birch Express books and would be willing to spend one nutribreak a week "checking in" with students about their book, please let me know.
