This week and last week we have been learning about plants and how they come from seeds. I first introduced the lesson by reading a few stories about seeds and plants and how they travel. We then discussed what it takes for a plant to grow. It would be awesome to ask your child if they can remember what all it takes for a plant to grow.
We then discussed the parts of a plant and how they begin as something small and grow to something that is amazing and beautiful. We talked about the parts of the plants and then in groups the kids had to create their own flower or plant and label the parts. They also labeled what it takes for a flower or plant to grow. All of the groups decided together to do flowers. Our flower garden turned out wonderful.
With this project we also planted a sunflower seed. We will be observing the flower and taking notes about the progress of their flower over the next few weeks. The kids are super excited to see what happens. What a fun project!!!!
