We are continuing to discuss different Spring things at school and have started an idea web about Spring.
Several students have brought in bird nests for us to examine.
As we continue to explore Spring things students are beginning to show an interest in things that are growing.
We have provided students with a variety of seeds to explore and have been planting and taking care of different plants at school.
Through all of our seed and plant activities students are working on many different skills:
Social/Emotional: Cooperating and sharing with friends when we play in the dirt at the sensory table
Physical: Fine motor skills- manipulating small materials, Holding and controlling a pencil when drawing seeds, Practicing cutting skills when creating our own seed package
Intellectual: Developing our language skills when we compare and describe different seeds, Learning about plants and how to take care of them
Spiritual: Appreciating nature as we explore seeds and watch our plants grow
We provided students with a variety of seed packages and allowed them to explore and compare the different seeds.
We encouraged students to sort the different seeds both in small groups and in the sensory table.
We have also provided students with dirt and a variety of planting tools in the sensory table to explore.
