Plants & Flowers

With Spring finally here, it's time to learn about plants and flowers!  The children sequenced the stages of the plant life cycle, talked about what plants need to grow, and also learned about the different parts of a flower. 

Beautiful artwork to show what plants need to grow!

Carefully coloring the parts of a flower

For a math activity, they put a certain number of petals around the center to make a flower.  This gave them practice is counting and they turned out really cute!

Our number of the week was 6 so of course
we practiced counting to 6!

Our Pre-K class took uncooked pasta and painted it to make Noodle Flowers!  The children were really creative in the different ways that placed the pasta to make different types of flowers.

After we had the knowledge we needed about flowers, we put it to the test by planting flowers in our very own flower bed out front!  Each child got to plant a flower and they were so cute as they left that day showing their parents which flower was "theirs".  Now, let's just hope Mrs. Christina can keep them water and looking good with her BROWN thumb!

Even our cooking activity was all about flowers.  The children used banana and strawberry slices to shape them into flowers.  They looked adorable and seemed to taste wonderful!

For our letter of the week, j, the children made jellyfish! 

Happy Spring Planting!!!
