Living Things, Our class garden, and special guest

Fun Friday!
Today we our gifted lesson with Mrs. Whitney in our outdoor garden.
We planted plants that Gabi's mom so nicely got for us in our garden. The children had many jobs, finding insects and worms, measuring plants, digging holes for our plants, planting them, covering them with soil, and watering We planted squash, tomatoes, parsley, peppers, basil. Last week we planted sunflowers.

In our classroom we are sprouting bean seeds.  The children are making observations and journaling their findings.  This is an opportunity for the children to use describing words in their writing.

 

Today we had a special guest reader.  Mrs. Bev Anderson, School Board Representative came to our class.  She read really cute books to us.  Ask your child about her stories.  Bev is a long time friend of education.  She shared with the children what her job is now that she is on the school board.  The kids thought it was super cool that she used to teach kindergarten.
We were excited to have her!
