This week we learned about gardens, the parts of a plant, and what it takes for plants to grow!
We started off with a NEW DRAMATIC PLAY CENTER!!! THE FLOWER SHOP!!
We labeled the parts of a plant:
We planted our own plants!
We observed how a plant drinks water from the root and watched how the water travels up paper towels similar to the plant.....
Plus we did some color mixing too!
We made observations as the water traveled...
We learned that for a plant to grow, it needs:
Seed
Soil
Water
and
Air
We checked our planted seeds each day before we got to take them home....
We read TOPS and BOTTOMS and made our own Tops and Bottoms Garden:
To celebrate, we also made SOCK CREATURES.....
Here they are all ready to take home and take care of:
Hair starting to grow:
On Friday, we ATE parts of plants!

Then we graphed our favorite parts of the plant to eat:
Garden week is such a fun fun week!!
