Plant Life

Our Sensory bin provides lots of "flowers," greenery and (dirt black beans) and hand shovels too!

We set up and experiment to find out if stems really absorb water and send it to the flowers

Our "control" is to the left

Fun flowers to observe this week

Our original designs

We created a "greenhouse" and have added beans and a moist cotton ball to a baggie. They are hanging in the Lobby in the sunshine!

We are ordering the life of an oak tree from seed to full grown.

Watching "The Tiny seed" while this "smartie" follows along and turns the pages in our "Big Book"

And a sweet seed to flower video

be sure to watch the credits for some surprises 

Lots of reading and writing

Beginning each day...counting, ordering, matching lowercase/uppercase letters, building, spelling, patterning, creating....

Our wonderful obsession with building....which will here-to-for and for the future be titled ENGINEERING!
