Plants, plants, plants!

We have been all about plants for the last two weeks.  My cuties are experts at all things plants!

For our centers, we added a flower shop to the dramatic play area

In our writing center, we created a paper garden with labels.

Blocks center was transformed into a garden bed building area.

 

Our science center allowed us to experiment the job of the roots.  Students buried the roots and turned on a fan to see that roots hold the plant in the ground.

We also recorded our plants' growth everyday in our plant journals.

We practiced what plants need to grow with a song and motions from my plant unit.  (My cuties were little seeds for the song and grew as I added what they needed to them.)

We created this mural to show what plants need to grow.

We labeled the parts of the plant with this craftivity.

You can get these ideas and so much more in my 67 page plant unit!

Plants!

Well, my spring break is is finishing up.  I have enjoyed the time to be with friends, loved ones, and the time to work on projects for my classroom and TPT.  

I updated my plants unit with some more activities.  It's 53 pages of science fun!  Here are some pics of what's inside:

Informational Text and Student Emergent Readers

 Sorting Activity for Plants' Needs

 2 Songs with Motions about Plants' Needs and Plant Parts

 Plant Growth Journal to Record 12 Days of Plant Growth

 Plant Parts Craftivity

Plant Life Cycle Craftivity

...and soooooo much more!

Alrighty, it is 4:00 am and I have much to do at the school tomorrow (today, that is, after I sleep).  Have a superb Saturday!

Plants Everywhere {and a little news}

Our district gave us today off since yesterday was Easter and it has been a lovely day.  I wanted to share some of our plant activities from last week.  You can find these activities and more in my new plant unit on TPT.  Click the pic to take a look at it.

We, of course, are growing plants.  We are recording our observations in our plant journals.

 

We are singing I'm a Little Seed and acting it out.

The song and motions are in my unit, too!

 Labeling the parts of a seed - the experiment and labels are in my unit as well.

We created a model of a plant and labeled the parts of a plant (also in the unit).

Now onto my news...

I have been holding this little bit of news inside of me for a while now until I was given the go to announce it...

I have been asked to help open our brand new campus in my district!  The school is still being built, but will be finished in July.  I am very excited about this opportunity, though I am sad to leave my current school.  I know it will be the best opportunity in the long run.  I am still going to be in Kindergarten {Yippee!!!!} and will get to be in a dual immersion school {how exciting!} 

Happy Monday, everyone!
