Week 2: Plants and Trees
This week children will continue to observe their growing plants and check on the results of their experiments about what plants need to stay healthy. Children will spend a lot of time outside as they investigate trees, plants, roots, branches, leaves, and more. They will make connections between what they have talked about and seen indoors with what they see outdoors. They will go on scavenger hunts, make bark and leaf rubbings, collect and sort plant and tree parts, and develop an appreciation for the natural world around us.
