Garden Week!

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:

ROOTS

STEMS

LEAVES

FLOWERS and FRUIT!

Then we graphed our favorite parts of the plant to eat:

Garden week is such a fun fun week!!

Veterinarian's Office!

I have a GREAT LOVE for dramatic play.... 

I have a goal to set up a new dramatic play center each month. This month is the Veterinarian's office, and the kids are in heaven! Their little minds are just spinning with pretend play! It's fantastic!

There are so many roles to play: 

The Dr., the Nurse, the patient, the patient owner, the receptionist, the pharmacist, etc...

So many sick animals to fix!!
