Do you eat plants?
 
We started our day by drawing our own pictures. We were encouraged to draw something that grows from a seed. We saw pictures of flowers,
watermelons, trees and carrots!
 






 
We sang our ABC & shape song in the morning.
 

 
We completed the calendar in the afternoon. We found out that
 today is the last day of March.
 
Miss Kathy shared a learning poster that showed different animals eating different parts of a plant. Animals eat plants. We do, too!
 
 
Miss Melani had a fun obstacle course today. We got to pretend to be an ant as we moved through this course. It was fun!













 
Miss Julie led a center where we had to listen and follow directions about flowers. We practiced saying a sentence to describe our flowers.





 
 
We were gardeners today! We planted a bean seed! We know that seeds need soil (another name for dirt), water & sunshine to grow! We planted our seeds in a cup and put them outside. We will water them everyday
and watch them closely!












 
We enjoyed a snack that grew from a seed! We had apples! Miss Kathy showed us how to cut an apple in half and look for the star inside.
The seeds are in the star!!

Where do plants come from?
 
We are going to be studying about seeds and the many wonderful things that grow from them!
 
Our morning started with free exploration of a variety of manipulatives. It's fun to work with our friends.








 
We sang our ABC song in the morning and
 completed a quick calendar lesson in the afternoon.
 We wrote our names in the afternoon.




 
Miss Kathy shared a book about what happened when some kids planted some seeds. We learned that many foods we eat are grown from a seed! Each kind of plant has its own seed. If I plant a carrot seed, a carrot will grow!
 
 
Miss Elaine had us work as a team to pass a beanbag. We had to be ready with our hands, watch as the bean bag came around the circle and pass it to our neighbor. We crossed our midlines and listened closely for directions.
 
 
 
 
Miss Cindy helped us move our bodies. We jumped on the mini-trampoline, jumped in and out of circles and rocked with a friend on the boat.
 



 
In the morning, Miss Kathy had some flowers for us to water. We had to follow the dotted lines from the watering can, down to the flowers. We had to pay close attention so we could stay on the lines.


 
In the afternoon, we each had 12 flowers on a paper. We numbered each flower. We will work more with these flowers later in the week.
 
 
It is always great to get back to school and have fun learning with our friends!
