Spring Fun

The Orange children have been so busy and exploring the spring activities we have set up for them around the classroom, this week we started out by planting our seeds so that in 2 weeks we can transfer them to outdoor classroom. First, we got to decorate our cups with paint sticks, so that the children would be able to recognize their cup as help them take care of their "flower or Veggie". 

Then we had them pick 2 different seeds, one being a flower and the other being a vegetable. They filled up their cup with soil and made a hole in the middle so they could tuck the seeds to sleep. For vegetables they got to pick from carrots, tomato's, radishes and kale. For their flowers they could choose from sunflower, marigolds, sweet Williams and Zinnas. 

After we got done watering them, we set them down by our windows in hopes of them getting some sun, so they can grow big and strong like us children. 

 Today we also got to have small group time and had each of the children measure flowers with cubes to see how tall each flower was, and to see which flowers was the smallest.
