Spring into Learning

Welcome to our Garden Shop!

Wow! I can not believe we have reached our last study which is the gardening unit. We have transformed our center into our very own garden shop where the kids will have a planting station, pick your own bulb and seed station, and design station. They will be able to take orders, create their own bouquets, and practice their planting/ gardening skills. This is one of my favorite studies and I'm so excited to open up this center for the class. I absolutely love the hand painted back drop. Each child painted their own flower and all of them turned out so precious!

Planting Our Garden

We took our tools, seeds, and watering cans outside to our raised bed and got to work. Everyone had a turn either putting seeds in the hole and covering them up with soil or digging a hole and planting a plant. We planted tomatoes, bell peppers, lettuce, cilantro, and peas. We are excited to take care of our garden and hopefully harvest some yummy vegetables.

HUGE THANK YOU to Milo Lee's dad, Will, for providing the composting soil from our garden.

Field Trip to Little Country Green House

With the help of Bruce at Little Country Green House we were able to answer our focus question of who helps gardens grow? We were able to tour the grounds and see so many beautiful plants as well as some cute chickens! We treated the kids to yummy ice cream while we were there to emphasize our letter of the week "I"! It was such a fun morning!
