We were very lucky to have a student in our class that raised watermelons, Brennon Mock, who planted, watered, and watched his watermelons grow. Brennon brought one of his watermelons to school to share with his classmates. That is one thing we talked about during reading was sharing and how it makes us feel.

Then they used the seeds to help figure out different number sentences. Last but not least, each student planted a seed. We talked about what will happen to the seed and what they need to do to keep their plant alive.
