This time of year is still cold and our class is aching to get outside. One of the ways to remedy this problem is by taking the outside inside! Last Thursday our class planted four envelopes of different kinds of seeds into four dishpans for our own classroom garden.
We planted marigolds, African daisies, an assorted mix, and zinnias in small groups on the purple mat. When we were done, we labeled the dishpans with the flower envelope that matched what was planted, and then we watered them with a homemade watering can. We put the flowers by the window and planned to water them every other day. Most of the packets told us we had to wait 7-14 days for the flowers to germinate. So we planted them, and then we waited.
Except it didn't even take 7 days!!! When we came back to school on Monday there was already green sprouts in the pans. Can you believe it? I can't wait to see those flower petals blooming!
