Inside we planted sunflowers and heard the story Mole's Hill by Lois Ehlert about a Mole who planted flowers all over his hill to save it from being knocked down. We used cookie cutters and paint to create a beautiful spring picture!
The kids loved hearing The Garden Song by John Denver on You Tube.

We ended our day by practicing the songs for our spring sing outside!!
Wednesday Mrs. Bulgerin got the kids outside for some free play and then she gathered them together to plant several different kinds of seeds. First all the kids looked at squash seeds, bean, carrot, apple, pepper, pea and zucchini seeds to see the different colors, shapes and sizes of seeds. Then each child picked the seed that they wanted to plant. We labeled the seeds and are watching to see which ones grow first and what they look like!
For art we made a flower garden using paint, markers and forks!!
On Thursday we saw and felt seeds that look like caterpillars and then we put some bean seeds in plastic bags with water and paper towels and taped them to the window. We don't think they'll really grow, but Mrs. Bulgerin says they will.....we'll just have to see!!
We read Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert and made our very own rainbow flower during activity time.
Our caterpillars have turned into chrysalis' and we are waiting for them to turn into butterflies!! We're still waiting for our ants to arrive in the mail to add to our ant farm. If they don't come soon we'll go outside and collect our own ants!!
Have a great week-end!!
