Away We Grow! Week 1

Let's Get Planting!!!

Love, love, love all this wonderful spring weather. It is just perfect for our study about plants. So far we have created plant posters/diagrams showing the parts of a flower. The kids really loved creating their posters. They were so proud of how well they did and how they turned out. Of course I had to really brag on all the wonderful flowers. I feel like spring has found its way into my classroom. Here are our posters. Aren't they just beautiful...

I then had my class complete these little charts about plants...Plants - Have, Need, and Give

This comparison chart on how plants are alike and different really showed how much the kids have learned about plants...

Take a look at our classroom bean garden. Wow, this was a favorite activity of the kids. They were just beaming at their own little flower pot with their bean seeds. They are so excited that they are gardeners. Need I say, putting their hands in all that dirt was super exciting...and the watering bottle came in a close second. There is something about kids and spraying water...Gotta love first graders!

 Check back next week to see how they've grown.

Who lives in a Saquaro Cactus? I love their drawings...

We have been reading many wonderful books about plants along with all the wonderful activities...here are some of my favorites:
