This is for Julianne

During storyline with Julianne today, everyone had different "listening" poses. 

Nick sitting on Max

Chris and Andrew napping

Allison relaxing and listening 

And Molly was sitting next to Julianne. What a focused group! But, we all enjoyed the 8 pages we read and had some great conversation afterwards :)

Dissecting a Flower

In Biology the other day we dissected a flower. Here are some photos I took:

The flower that I dissected was one of these pink ones. It didn't seem to have any Sepals, which was a little bit odd. But, they may have been directly attached to the base of the flower in a way that we couldn't see them. 

Didn't really do much to the petals...

After the petals were off, I was able to see the inside of the flower. 


The first parts that I dissected were the Stamens. They had liquid inside. They support the pollen. 

The above is what they look like when they haven't been dissected. 


This was cool - got to see inside the "fruit" part of the flower to see the cells that would become seeds.
