Exploring Plants in Kindergarten by Kathryn Munford (Kinder teacher and team leader)


 

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!!
