Over the last couple months, kindergarten students have been saving seeds, planting seeds, caring for seedlings, preparing painted terra cotta pots, and planting seedlings in the garden!
They started last fall by shelling beautiful dried
Scarlet Runner Beans that grew in our school garden. Late this winter, they planted the beans in plastic pots in the greenhouse. In February and March, they painted their own terra cotta pots in anticipation of bringing their bean seedlings home. Finally, right before spring break, they got a chance to take a look at their seedlings' roots and carefully transplant them into their own personalized pots. They even planted some of the seedlings in our school garden! We're looking forward to them growing up over the garden tunnel!
