How does your garden grow?

This week we're beginning a new unit of study ... it's all about spring! We're starting with seeds and growth, and eventually we'll also cover flowers, bugs, butterflies, and birds. But today was all about seeds. We looked at different types of seeds and talked about the parts of a plant (stem, leaves, flower, and roots). 


We also looked at seeds in various stages of sprouting ...



But the real fun came when we planted our own seeds! To set the mood, we first read Jack & the Beanstalk. Then we added dirt to individual cups, and planted three bean seeds. 






Finally, we decorated a small trellis to look like our beanstalks are growing toward the sky.


Can you imagine how cute this will be when there's a stalk climbing up our trellis?


We hope our flowers turn out as pretty as this one!
