Plants and Flowers

Now that Spring is here, it's time to start planting some beautiful plants and flowers!  But first, it's important for us to learn how a flower grows, what it needs to live, and it's parts.  Several of the classes did a neat art activity that also helped them in identifying the parts of the flower.

We also used our creativity to make cute flowers from noodles!

  

For a math activity, the children counted out and glued a certain number of petals onto each flower. 

 

 Even our cooking project was all about flowers!  The children arranged slices of fruit to look like a beautiful (and yummy!) flower.

 

At the end of the week, it was time to put all of our new knowledge to the test!  The 3's and Pre-K class helped Mrs. Christina plant flowers in our front flower bed.  They had so much fun and each got to help in some way.  Let's just hope Mrs. Christina can keep the plants alive!  :)
