First Grade Thinks Plants ROCK!

What does first grade want to share about the garden?

How has the garden changed from winter to spring? How does it look?

"When it's winter, some flowers die. They didn't have a lot of water, and it was very cold"

"There are earthworms in the garden now!"

"The garden looks healthy! The soil looks damp."

"The flowers and leaves are getting bigger and everything is starting to grow"

"The garden has been weeded."

"It is ready to start planting."

How do you think we are going to plant?

"We need to give the plants soil and water."

"We will have to make sure the garden has the right temperature to grow."

"We have to make sure it has sun."

"We need some seeds to put in the soil."

"We need to work together."

"We need to water the plants."

"Plants need air."

What Other Things Besides Seeds Do We Need?

We need shovels and our hands.

We need to take care of the garden.

We need plant food.

We need seeds.

We need craft sticks to label the plants.

What do you think about growing a garden from Kitchen Scraps?

"I thought of composting"

"We could use the seeds inside the fruits and vegetables."

"We could try to grow things from the scraps we would normally throw away at home"
