Thanks to the amazing spring weather this week, we headed outside to plant our cool weather seeds (lettuce, kale and spinach). In our second case study about plants, students have been learning about what plants need to thrive and the parts of a plant.
This week, students learned about what grows best in Colorado and sorted fruits/vegetables by warm weather and cool weather crops. Students then decided what they thought we should plant in the garden. Each student wrote a persuasive paragraph to convince our 1st grade crew on what we should plant. Strawberries were a crew favorite!
During the warm day, we discussed how gardeners must tend their garden. Each student was tasked with pulling weeds and turning the soil before we could plant. The students took ownership and pride in their hard work.
Students were so excited to get to plant and look forward to harvesting our healthy lettuce, spinach and kale.
