Yes, That Is the Cast of Liv/Maddie

Today, Mrs. Standlee, was able to gift each student with one of these because she has a very sweet, and generous friend, the actual REAL LIFE MOM of Dove Cameron! This is a signed copy of the cast of the Disney TV show Liv and Maddie. 

A HUGE cheer to Dove and her mom, Ms. Wallace (soon to be an author of a book this August). That's so cool!

Mowing Our "Lawns"

We planted two types of grass: rye and alfalfa to compare and contrast their growing cycles.

The mustard seeds are growing nicely and looking healthy.

We measured both grasses to see which one grew longer.

Was the rye or the alfalfa greener?

Next, we mowed our lawns to see what would happen.

We put the clippings in a container to see if our prediction that they would die since they are not getting any water or nutrients would be confirmed or denied.

Two types of grasses - yes, we are growing and mowing our own lawns.
