My Project

My students will learn about living things and their needs this year in kindergarten. This is also a really fun part of learning about seasons.

As part of this science standard, the life cycle of a plant is such a fun way to discover the essential needs of a plant how they grow, and their parts.

We will grow sunflower seeds and flower seeds in our school garden area. Hands-on learning is really fun when the students can see their own plants come to life! We will use the books to reinforce the learning and continue the conversation of plant life. They will put their learning to the test with our hands-on planting days and keeping a log of their growth.
