As Grade 4 continues to study life science, we will watch living things grow in our classroom. That includes animals and plants. Currently, we have a guest frog and we look forward to growing several plants. Please consider supporting our project at http://www.donorschoose.org/lprep4penn. 

In the Depths of the Summer Pond

"Here hang the algae, green and small,

in the depths of the summer pond.

Here floats the flea, waving antennae,

that eats the algae, green and small,

in the depths of the summer pond.

Here nods the nymph with feathery gills,

that drinks the flea,

that eats the algae, green and small,

in the depths of the summer pond.

Here dives the bug, sleek and swift,

that nabs the nymph

that drinks the flea,

that eats the algae, green and small,

in the depths of the summer pond . . ."--from Song of the Water Boatman, c. 2005, All rights reserved. http://www.joycesidman.com/songofthewaterboatman.html
