We have been busy learning about plants and how they grow!
Before we left for Spring Break, we investigated sand, soil, and rocks. We decided to conduct an experiment to determine if bean seeds would grow best in sand, soil, or rocks. The kids wrote arguments to support their ideas, and we got our results after the break!
We checked out our sprouts, measured, and found out that SOIL is definitely the BEST for growing beans!
So...we decided to use soil in our classroom garden! We planted lots of vegetables and some flowers too! We used popsicle sticks to keep track of where we planted, and we gave our little seeds, bulbs, and sprouts lots of water. Hopefully we will have lots of new little plants soon! Thank you to everyone who helped out with our garden!
In addition to all our planting, we have written about plants--teaching books and imaginary stories.
And after reading Growing Vegetable Soup, we made some vegetable soup of our own!
It was good to the last drop!
