A Few Activities From August~

Early in the summer, the children helped to plant sunflower starts in the garden and all throughout the summer, we were able to observe how the sunflowers grew, unfurled into bright flowers, and ultimately went to seed.
Recently, the children came to the garden to talk about seeds and where they come from. We practiced harvesting seeds from sunflowers, as well as finding seeds of other plants, such as peppers, tomatoes, and beans!

On another occasion, we learned all about a life form-not plants, not animals.........but mushrooms! We passed around a mushroom to feel and smell, we learned about mushroom lifecycles through a movement / dance, we went on a "mushroom hunt" to find Shiitake mushrooms, & every child received a bag to collect herbs to take home ingredients for a mushroom soup! ​
