4th graders are learning about plants

This week all of the 4th graders planted semillas de girasol (sunflower seeds).  It was great hearing them come up with sentences to talk about what they needed to plant the seeds and to see their excitement to have their own plant.  Many wanted to name their plant.  Hopefully they will grow and when they do the students will be bringing them home to plant outside. 

These were the materials we used for planting the seeds.

Here is one class set of planted seeds.

This is the first sprout to show itself...not even 4 days after planting!
