Inch by Inch, Row by Row We Are Learning How Flowers Grow!

Our PM class started April off with our 101st day of school party! We celebrated by dressing up, watching 101 Dalmatians, receiving awards and eating some tasty treats. 

After a crazy and exciting start to the week we transitioned into our unit on Plants! ​Our focus for week 1 was Spring. The kids took the next couple days to adjust to the new teacher Ms. Gwen, enjoy the warm weather and explore the changes, decorations and new toys in the classroom. 

Week 2 our focus was plant anatomy. We took the time to learn songs about plants, read Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, start our seed in a bag project and learn about caring for our classroom plants. Some kiddos decided to give our classroom plants an unexpected haircut. This created a lovely opportunity to learn about pressing flowers!​

Week 3 our focus was plant life cycles. The kids learned about what makes plants grow and how they change over time. They are most excited about watching their window seeds grow, bugs, playing at the park and beginning our outdoor garden in the weeks to come! The kids want to plant carrots, sunflowers, strawberries, cucumbers and watermelon. We ended the week with some science fun on rain clouds. ​​
