Plant Journal Revisted with a New Addition Bean Greenhouse Activity

Hello,  I cannot believe I uploaded my plant journal in 2012!!!  I have been using this plant journal with my students for 12 years!!! My students still get excited when they get their journal and investigate their plant growth.   For the past two years I have started the Bean Greenhouses where my students put a few beans in wet cotton balls, place them in a ziploc and we put them on the window and watch them grow.  This year I have created a quick journal for my students to observe their observations.  I always give 3 beans to each student because the ziploc is rather small for any more.  This year my students will be able to get their Bean Greenhouse journal, put down what day it is of growing and then colour in what stage they see their beans. They can also colour in the weather - sunny, partly sunny or cloudy.   Every year I do a living things unit and plant a radish seed with my students.  However, I have never felt the kids have had a great plant journal to keep all their notes.

Well, another school year has come and gone and summer is upon us!  I try to relax and enjoy the summer but I do take this time to update some of my TPT products.   One product I have been working on updating is my plant jouranl.  Here is the link to the explanation of my paper copy plant journal https://primaryflynn.blogspot.com/2012/08/plant-journal.html I have decided to update my plant journal for Google Apps specifically Google Slides.   Every year I notice my primaries are getting better at using the Samsung tablets and Chromebooks so I believe they are reading to do more projects on the Chromebooks.  You can find this package in my TPT store at the following link: Google Slides Plant Journal There is also a video explanation of the journal. Enjoy! Kemble :-)
