The peas we planted inside have sprouted! We are amazed each day to see how much they have grown.
 |
| On Monday, the first few tiny sprouts had emerged |
 |
| Every day we could see that the sprouts had grown taller and new ones emerged |
 |
| Look what's growing in our garden! |
This week we also filled our raised garden beds with soil so we can start planting in them next week!
 |
| Everyone contributed to the project |
We learn this poem as a song with motions
A Little Seed
By Mabel Watts
A little seed for me to sow
A little earth to make it grow
A little hole, a little pat
A little wish, and that is that.
A little sun, a little shower,
A little while… and then, a flower!
Language Tip of the week:
“What do you think?
Ask your child for their opinions & ideas in your conversations. When they ask a question, sometimes you can respond with “What do you think?” instead of answering right away. (e.g., questions like, “Where is that dog going?” or “Why do I have to wear a hat?”) You can also ask them what they think the weather will be outside, what they enjoyed doing that day, anything!
Benefits for your child:
- build their mental comprehension and analytical skills,
- practice speaking and explaining.
You’ll also learn about your child’s perceptions of the world and what is important to them.

| With some rainy days in the past few weeks, we've discussed where the rain comes from and what happens to the rain on the ground. We talked about evaporation and set up our own experiment. The water level in the open cup is slowly decreasing as the water evaporates, but stays the same in the covered cup. |
