From School Blog:
As you know, the Blue Room children have been very involved with planting throughout the school year. At this point, they are very interested and comfortable working in the soil. On Friday, we planted Morning Glories and Lettuce. Unafraid to get their hands dirty, the kids dove right in!
It has been nice because we have been talking so much in the Blue Room about Springtime and all of the things that grow in the Spring- all of the blooming trees, the flowers, and noticing other living things like butterflies, flies, and bees, which we notice as the weather gets warmer as well. By planting in the Blue Room, they are really able to see their efforts grow into living plants and in feeling connected to these plants, they can be more aware of how we need to be considerate of the living things around us.
After planting the Morning Glories, we also planted Lettuce in a different planter… as you can see from the pictures, again the kids just LOVED taking part in spraying!
Sophie helped to move some of that soil into our egg crate to plant our Morning Glories.
Sophie, Sofia, and Russel use shovels to move the dirt around in our container.
