Magic Seeds!! What will they be??

I absolutely LOVE this time of year when the excitement from the students switches from snow days to sunshine!! I am more than overjoyed to be back outside at recess and integrating so many science standards into curriculum as the seasons change! The past few weeks, we have discussed the needs of plants, parts of plants, the life cycle of plants and more!

As St. Patrick's day approaches every year, we read books about leprechauns and tease the idea that a leprechaun has been playing tricks in our classroom. This year a leprechaun left us some magic seeds! Well, of course we planted them right away with the excitement that something amazing will grow! Some students guessed a flower might grow, while others predicted a magic beanstalk will appear! I love their imagination!

Each day, we watered, observed, and anticipated the magic. We also wrote about the needs of plants and compared it to the needs of our own bodies as well! Finally, after some growth appears we begin discussing what it might be and measured it. The students came to a conclusion that the leprechaun had tricked us and gave us grass seeds!
