How Does My Garden Grow?

By:

Our class has begun to discuss all things that grow.  We asked each child to tell us something that grows.

..."leaves grows"

..."shower"

..."flowers"

..."tomatoes grow"

..."strawberries"

..."grapes"

..."seeds"

..."trees grows"

..."leaves"

Since it has been raining this week, we asked the children, "Why do we need rain?"

..."for water

..."for the trees"

..."the ground"

..."flowers"

 

"Why do they need rain?"

..."thats why they could grow"

..."water makes the flowers grow"

 

"Where do flowers, trees, fruits, and vegetables grow?"

They pondered for a moment and then responded, "in the garden".

We then asked the class, "What is your favorite thing that grows in a garden?"

..."watermelon"

..."flowers"

..."leaves"

..."grapes"

..."caterpillars"

..."strawberries"

..."vegetables"

..."the trees"

Later in the week, we took a tour of Temple Emanu-El's Community Garden and thought it would be helpful to plant herbs in the garden.  Some of the children planted basil and others planted sweet bell peppers.  They used hand trowels to dig holes for the new transplants.  They carefully patted soil around the stem to cover the roots.

When we were finished, the children walked around and looked at the other garden beds.  They enjoyed learning about all the different fruits and vegetables that grow in our gardens.
