A week of growing things! We planted beans, salad, and flowers, and have been recording the changes each day. Friday brought our first sprout! The children enjoyed all the outside play time, as well as exploring the dirt and the waiting for the sprouting to happen. Our songs have been about gardens and what plants need to grow.
Our favorite activity this week has been the beginnings of a creative writing activity, and the children are each getting a moment to write and illustrate their own book, which we then read to the rest of the class. I'm always amazed at the stories that are written, and the listening skills of the audience. The children identify their stories and the stories of their peers as either "fiction" or "non-fiction", and remember details to share during discussions.
Until Next Time,
Michele
