Seeds, fruit, and vegetable science with Teacher Amy!

Amy began an investigative project into the life cycle of fruit and vegetable seeds today. She began with an invitation to take a closeup look at cross sections of various fruits and vegetables on the light table. She also invited friends to “plant” flowers and leaves into play dough. Later friends helped her place seeds on paper towels, give the seeds water, then place them in a ziplock bag that she hung on the window for light. We are excited to watch the seeds sprout and eventually plan to plant them in our garden beds. Amy also invited friends to pretend to be sprouting seeds with their bodies during circle time and also read a related Planting a Rainbow, by Lois Ehlert.
