13. This week, we were very excited doing our science experiment: How does a plant drink water? We wrote down our hypothesis: Water won’t move up!, OR, water moves up! Then, we observed our celery for few days to check for any changes. Finally, we wrote down our findings. We noticed that the celery leaves turned to blue and red(the food coloring we used)! That proved the water actually moved up! And this is how a plant drinks water!

A friendly reminder, dear parents, it is very essential to help our children grow a love for reading. Reading every night with your child helps strengthen the relationship between both of you, as well as the love of reading. Please, continue reading to and with your child.
