Plant Seeds
We took clear plastic cups, decorated them, and then filled with potting soil. Once they were full of potting soil, we planted a few sunflower seeds, and cannot wait to watch them grow. We are hoping to see some root systems within a week or so. :)
Now that the snow has melted enough to see the grass, we have journeyed to some playgrounds to look for signs of spring...and to burn energy! We keep checking trees for buds, looking for bulbs rising from the ground, and of course stomp in puddles. The boys have also noticed that the soccer fields are almost grass again...so they know sports are around the corner!
I have always insisted that the best classroom is nature...and what better way to learn than to explore! Learn what happens to a stream when the snow melts. Go outside at night with a flashlight and look for frogs. Pull up a clod of grass and look at the roots. Observe. Take pictures. Make drawings. Nature is amazing!
