Kindergarten spent a week learning about plants! We read many non-fiction books about how
plants grow, and then were able to sequence the life cycle of a plant. We also read
a lot of fiction and had fun with a silly story about a bear and hare
planting gardens – ask your child about the story Tops and Bottoms!! We explored the parts of plants using
magnifying glasses to see the veins in the leaves and to find the seeds in the
flowers.
Each student planted seeds and we watched as they grew. Mrs. Munford’s class planted sunflower seeds
and by the time the students took them home, they were quite big!!
We also planted a class garden. We are watching our bean plants grow very
tall and are just beginning to see the sprouts of our carrots.
We have had a great time investigating, observing and taking
care of our plants!!
