Seeds

Where does it all begin?

   Recommended children's literature:  "The Tiny Seed" by Eric Carle  and "The Surprise Garden" by Zoe Hall.

    We looked at all different types of seeds and even tasted a few (sunflower and pumpkin).  Every thing that grows in our garden began with one seed.  That tiny seed needs warmth from sun, water, soil and oxygen to grow. We eat the fruits and vegetables from the seeds to give us energy.  We were pleased to  discover that the seeds themselves can also provide energy to animals and birds that live in our neighborhood. 

    Now we can plant anything in our imaginary gardens with the help of the sun's energy, so we planned and designed  our own gardens using construction paper and special bright crayons.
