Photosynthesis

 In studying plants, we've learned about photosynthesis. 

 After reading and talking about it, we drew a plant and wrote about photosynthesis...

 how plants take in sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients and water...

 and gives off oxygen!

 We talked about how through photosynthesis, a plant makes sugar for energy.

 We've also learned that in the food chain, plants are always 'producers.'

 The first animal that eats the plant is called a 'primary consumer'...which is what Toto was in our story.

By drawing the picture illustrating photosynthesis, Room 5ers should be able to remember this process.

Plus, it was definitely fun to paint!
