Kellan began with a timed multiplication facts drill with the 3s facts before we continued to work on line plots. We reviewed how to understand and read line plots using the title, scale, and data points. Then, Kellen applied his understanding of these graphs to answer the lesson's problem-solving questions, which we did together.

Kellan read about xylem and phloem in plant stems. He viewed a diagram of xylem and phloem, and the direction of water and food flow. He diagrammed and labeled xylem and phloem and wrote a summary of their functions. He watched a video animation of xylem and phloem.
