MORE AND MORE SEEDS AND PLANTS

Hello there:
After our last break before the end of the course i have lots of things to tell you.


I will start talking about our seeds and plants work:


Last week we read "Oh say can you seed?" by Dr. Seuss. It is an awesome book because as we are planting beans it shows us how they grow amazingly well.














we also talked about how plants can be useful for us and completed this simple activity:

We planted cat grass on plastic cups where we glued eyes, noses and mouths and now we have to wait to see it grow.   

                                              our garden is growing day by day .....








                HOW MUCH DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT SEEDS AND PLANTS
                      To finish talking about seeds and plants we took part in a contest:

kids had to choose among these 4 activities: what's my seed, how seeds grow, parts of a plant and how seeds travel.
If they got a right answer they would won a sticker.

MY FAVORITE SEED

As we had already seen seeds in small groups, we were going to try to remember which seed became which fruit or vegetable. And then we graphed seeds to see which one was the class favorite. 

This is our kindergarten garden so far. In Spanish, Asun told them the story of Jack and the Bean stalk and then planted beans. Next week, we are planting grass. I'll tell you how it goes.

 Have a great week you all, enjoy your Sunday.

PARTS OF A FLOWER AND SMALL GROUPS WORK ON SEEDS

                                                         PARTS OF A FLOWER     
Using the flower poster we learn the parts of the flower and then we make a flower craft.

                                       SCIENCE WITH PLANTS in small groups  

GROUP 1. ANALYZING SEEDS.
We analyze different size of seeds and we talk about them, we sequence them by size and then we examine them and try to relate them to the fruit or vegetable they become.

GROUP 2. POLLINATION DEMONSTRATION
To work on our pollination center we need to:  
1. Prepare two small paper flowers per table
2. Lay flowers on the table and sprinkle “pollen” sequins in center of first flower.
3. Make a bee puppet with holes for your fingers.
4. Tell the students that your fingers are the bee’s legs. “fly” bee to one flower and land on it, make sure you pick up some sequins in your fingers.
5. “fly” the bee to second flower and land on it. Dropping sequins when you touch the flower.
6. Explain that bees spread pollen as they fly from flower to flower.

Them Students create their own pollination worksheet.

(this fantastic idea comes from LILTEACHER.COMLILTEACHER.COM)

GROUP 3 (INDEPENDENT WORK). SEQUENCING HOW PLANTS GROW AND WRITING ON OUR WRITE AND WIPE BOARDS.
Kids try to sequence how seeds grow as we learned through the poster previously and then wrote some words in our write and wipe boards.
