Planting seeds:
Today in class the kids planted a seed and hopefully we will be watching them grow over the next several weeks. Before we planted we discussed the process of planting a seed. The kids wrote on an index card the four steps that we took to plant the seed.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
This week we have been talking about seeds. We have been reading nonfiction stories about seeds. One story that we read was The Tiny Seed by Earl Carl. This book showed the students that seeds have to move and need room to grow. First it showed them places that the seed would not survive and finally at the end the story the seed found a place that had just enough room, sunlight,water and soil to live. Such a great story! Today the kids worked together to make a flower of their own from a seed to flower. They had to work together to remember all of the parts of the flower and they also had to label the different things that it will take to grow a plant or flower. This was a great project for the kids that was a little difficult but they enjoyed doing it together.
