Our Plant Inquiry evolves into the Planning of an Outside Garden!

Our Plant Inquiry began in March and is continuing to grow!  Children are continuing to observe, record and investigate the growth of seeds and are very interested in caring for our plants.  During one of our many discussions, the students decided that they would really like to create an outdoor garden outside our classroom window.  So during the last two weeks, the children have been very busy making lists, assigning jobs, writing notes, drawing plans and researching gardens.  A note was sent home on Thursday asking for help to create our vision for the garden!  We are hoping that parents can donate a bag of soil (as it will take many bags) and a flower or two.  We are also in need for parents to help make our project a success- if you are available to volunteer this upcoming week, please let me know.  Here are a few snapshots to show you the thinking process of the children at work!

After searching garden boxes, this group created a plan for the flowers.
