Taking Care of Our Earth

After learning about plants and how they grow we celebrated Earth Day by making posters and Earth Day Creatures to help remind everyone how important it is to take care of our Earth!

Plant Unit

During our plant unit we learned that plants need air, sunlight, soil and water to survive.  We also learned about the parts of a plant and what they do.  We made these plant posters to show the parts of a plant.

We learned about plants needs and what each part of the plant does.  We made these “Plant Needs” booklets to help us learn the functions of each part.

We enjoyed the story The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle and made these flowers after reading that story.

A few of our plant centers were measuring different kinds of plants to the nearest inch and centimeter.  They also looked up words from the story Jack and the Beanstalk in a dictionary.  Using their mechanics in writing they created sentences about plants.
