Fingers crossed that kindergarteners (and their teacher!) have green thumbs!
The Tiny Seed, by Eric Carle (this month's author study), was part of the inspiration for kindergarteners to plant grass seeds. Each day we are monitoring our seeds and recording the progress. So far we haven't seen any change in our seeds, but we are being very patient and hopeful that soon we will see little spikes of grass. During the planting process, the students were reviewing what they know about the difference between living and nonliving things. We remembered from past discussions that our plants will need water, fresh air and sunshine and food. Some children were curious where the food would come from. Others shared their background knowledge that there are vitamins and "special stuff" in the soil that help feed the seeds! Smart gardeners!

It's so great that you do this! Nothing like seeing things grow! Hannah also told us about the butterflies, very exciting!
