Week 3: Planting

On Monday, we did a lot around the garden with the first graders. At the beginning, the students learned about plants and the four main parts of them. The students were all able to identify the root, stem, leaf, and flower of a plant! After filling out a quick worksheet, the kids walked around to look at plants in the garden. After learning about plants the topic was changed to seeds. The students learned where seeds come from and how they travel then grow. After this all of the students got to plant a seed, that will grow throughout the next few months by working in the garden! After planting, one student was given the chance to water the plant bed, finishing up the fun class day.
