My Project

Each year, my kindergarten students learn about plants and the plant life cycle. In addition to learning about the plant life cycle, we always do a little craft or something special for Mother's Day. This year, I would like to have each student plant their own flower after learning about the plant life cycle, and give that flower to their mom or mother-figure in their life!

I think this would be the perfect activity for my kindergarten students to learn!

I hope that my students will love this activity and learn something, too!
