I LOVE these little "green houses" where we sprout our green beans! The kids get to see the roots and sprouts grow from the seed with a little water and sunlight! And they are just stinkin' cute! These green bean plants will be coming home soon, as some of them are growing over the tops of the green houses!
We had four different types of grasses to plant. We planted alfalfa, wheat, oats, and rye grass. The alfalfa sprouted first! Sure has been fun to watch them grow! We will cut the grass tomorrow and see what happens after that. Sunflowers will be next!
We have also been "growing" a garden in the classroom;) The kids have been learning about roots we can eat and we have painted, cut out, and put our roots in the garden. We still have strawberries, squash, and peas to add to the garden!
This next project just makes me think of spring! We made a picture of a flower along with the sun, rain, and soil that a plant needs to grow. Super cute!
We still have a few plant things to do this month. I will make sure they get posted before we move on to zoo animals in May!
