Time to Garden (Fine Arts and Science T/Th)
May 13, 2016, 12:08 PM
Our class made some grass monsters last
month. Each child got to create his or her own monster.
First, we had to design our monster’s face.
Put some soil in the cups and grass seeds
for the monster’s hair.
We watered and
watered to help our monster grow some hair.
Finally, the monsters hair grew and their
hair got a little bit out of control.
Then, we decided to have a salon day. Each child got a chance to give his or her monster’s hair a trim.
This activity gave children the experience of growing something out of a seed. They were excited to see the little developments that were happening to the seed. The children also learned to be patient and understand that seeds do not grow overnight. By watering them every class, they came to realize that growing things require commitment and hard work.
Hopefully, this activity made them appreciate the plants and flowers that are growing around them and have a better regard for them.
Until next time,
Patricia
