Kids teach kids

Last Monday Mrs.Garcia's class  tought a lesson to Ms. Jenn's and Miss Galuecia's second grade classes on how seeds travel . We  explained how water and wind move plant seeds from one place to another and how plants can explode out seeds when you touch them or when they are exposed to certain temperatures.

"It was cool to teach other kids and get them to look forward to learning about nature." said Madiline Fife, one of the pair of girls who started the lesson off.                                                                                   

                     

                    We also told them how some plants are  "superpoopers" .They are plants that rely on animals to eat their seeds, digest them, and then poop them out, therefore depositing  them in different places. Then some demonstrating kids showed some different examples of plants that travel in different ways.  After that, we helped the second graders make charts and lists grouping together plants, seeds ,and the ways seeds travel.
Finnaly, we read booklets we made to the second graders on the ways seeds travel.  I  think I can speak for all of Mrs. Garcia's class when I say that teaching the second graders was really fun!
