The beautiful weather has finally arrived with a vengence! We are so excited about chosing what to plant in our outdoor garden. The kids are talking about what they want to grow, most decisions seem to be made based on what food preferences they all share.
To learn about the parts of the plant and how they grow we have started a few seeds in the classroom. Our radishes, onions and carrot seeds are a very exciting draw daily. When the radish seeds began sprouting well before the other plants the children were concerned that something had gone terribly wrong with the other seeds. A few days later the onions began to poke through the top of the soil. Cheers errupted that morning! The sole carrot sprout has finally pushed it's way into the sunlight and is being ever so lovingly tended to. As a class the children are monitoring the plants progress and wondering when we will be able to eat the "fruits" of their labour.
