What do plants need to grow? Sun, Water, and Soil. We planted tiny flower seeds of our own and talked about where new flowers come from. We learned that the plant makes the seeds so new plants can grow elsewhere. But how do the seeds move they wondered? The ideas they came up with were the plant dropping them or the wind blowing them.
We also worked as a team to plant annuals. What great little helpers; putting the flowers in, adding more soil and watering them.
We painted with coloured ice cubes on popsicle sticks outside, with flowers being the subject. There were flower gardens, fancy flowers and flower delivery trucks created.
To practice our counting and number writing we drew flowers, counted the number of petals they had and wrote that numbers above the flower.
We continued this week with our number writing. They are doing so well writing their numbers in the correct direction and not getting discouraged when they have to try again. I love their perseverance and positive attitude! We also had a great discussion about homonyms (words that sound the same but have different meanings or spelling) because someone noticed that EIGHT sounds like ATE, and FOUR sounds like FOR.
We have had such nice weather lately that everyone thought it would be a good idea to play with the hose in the backyard. The joy that running around in the water brings! We also ventured down to the schools to play on the big play structures.
