Life In Fifth Grade

I have been here for  3 weeks now I have learn so much. Here some facts I learned, first I learned what  a collective noun is.I also learned  how to round decimals in Mrs. Brantley’s  class. In Mrs. McFall’s class we learned you can have a growth mindset or in other words make your brain bigger. Mrs. Lobue taught us all about the climax.I almost forgot about Mr.McBride. He taught us  about non living  and living things working together in an environment.Today we are working on making a map in Mrs. McFall class.

 

 

 

Wildflower Research

Today I’m working on a wildflower research project, and here are some facts I learned about the Rocky  Mountain  Penstemon.  Its scientific  name is Penstemon Strictus, and its scientific classification is (Scrophulariaceae).  The height of the flower is 2-3 1/2 ft.  The most beautiful part are the pedals, the color pink/blue/ purple are blended together, but it looks like Indigo.  Its blooming period is May -July, and that is about 3 months.  Here are some suggested uses: slopes, hill sides, roadsides, and mixtures.Here are some interesting facts: An upright perennial native to the western  and central United States.  The closely packed snapdragon -like, purple, tubular flower are arranged  on a sturdy spike.  All these facts are found on a website called wildflowers  in Bloom-Aggie Horticulture.
