Harvest Unit

After learning about plants, the children moved on to a unit on the harvest. They learned that plants can grow into food and that farmers must take care of the plants on a farm. We had so much fun playing farmer and cooking lots of fun foods!

Unit on Plants

The children spend a few weeks learning about plants! They learned to identify the parts of a plant, ways plants grow, and how to grow a plant. We even made our own gardens!
