PM Kinders Spring Adventure

You may not believe it with all of the snow that we've had but our PM Kinders have found Spring and they didn't have to go very far to find it. 

On a walk one afternoon, some of the kids noticed that the geese were beginning to return so they went in search of other signs that Spring was here. With magnifying glasses in hand, they searched the back field and trees of the playground and came across fresh buds on the trees and ladybugs!

To try to identify the children's interest, we set out an inivitation about bugs. 

While the children found this engaging, they still seemed more interested in the idea of how things grow so we decided to try planting seeds. First we used cotton balls and bean seeds and placed them in glass jars so that the children could watch them grow. 

We displayed them in a plant themed provocation for the children to explore even more about seeds and plants. 

We also gave the children different types of seeded fruits to cut into and explore. 

Hopefully as the weather warms up we can continue to learn more about how things grow.
