Reading partnerships two

I think that Tess wants Aron to be exactly like her. She said “I hope Aron knows how to play Monopoly”. She also said that “I hope Aron would like being on an island like I do”. Tess likes  playing monopoly so she wants Aron to be like her. She also told Libby  “don’t you want Aron to be like you?”  Tess also keeps asking Aron questions like do you no how to play monopoly or do you like boats? This shows that Tess is trying to get to know Aron but is also trying to see if they have the same interests.  At this point Aron and Tess don’t really have the same interests other than boats and Tess dose not like it. That is why she keeps asking random questions to find the same interest.

Plant life cycle

We have been studying plants the whole life cycle and learned about photosynthesis and other things about plants. The leaves looked crumpled up and an unhealthy purple after we did pollination. After pollinating pods started to grow with seeds in side. Our stem started leaning over and was purple. The soil was also very dry. Because the soil was very dry it did not get a lot of minerals and water. The plant needs minerals to survive without them. We have grown bigger pods from the last blog post. Our plant’s leaves have died and the stem is wilting. Our flowers have also disappeared and the petals fell off. It seems like after pollinating it dies. I wonder why this happens. I think this happens because the petals no longer have to advertise and there is no point of the plant because it already reproduced. Our pods haven’t had a chance to grow very big so I think there will be a small number of seeds. It has two lumps in it so I think there are going to be two pods. We have seven pods now. I have learned that the leaves soak up sunlight and have chlorophyll to make food. I also learned that photosynthesis is the process that plants use to make food. Pollination is when some pollen touches other pollen it makes seed pods to make new life.The stems job is to keep the plant strait and the flowers pollinate. We cracked open the seed pods and and tried to guess how many seeds were in a pod. There were about three in each pod. Only big pods had seeds in them. I wonder how the plants pollination creates a seed.
