Watch it Grow

"Plants grow in the soil,

Plants grow in the soil,

It has lots of nutients,

Plants grow in the Soil"

(Opening Song- Mother Goose Time Day 1, Growing Gardens curriculum)

Where do you find dirt?  Many of the children have plants growing in their house. What does a plant need to grow?  Soil, sunlight, and water. 

 The kids smelled the dirt, which smelled like- dirt. They scooped the dirt. They wrote with their fingers in the dirt and noted how the dirt changed when we added water. The water made the dirt look darker, and it looked like it got smaller.

Day One.

The kids scooped soil into containers and spread the grass seed on top. We watered them and waited for the grass to grow.

Day Five. 

On Day five the grass finally sprouted. How exciting!
