Ms. Kilkenny's Class Investigates Gardens
Ms. Kilkenny’s class has begun a brand new unit on gardening. The first thing we did was take a trip around Goodrich to see if we had anything growing in our gardens.
We found Flowers! We recorded our findings on our sheets.
How do plants grow? From seeds. In the Discovery Center we investigated different kinds of seeds. And, no you don’t plant a tomato to grow a tomato. Who knew the seeds were so tiny!
We made our own individual green houses and we sprouted some bean seeds.
We have a "Garden" in the Sensory Table
Students brought in garden items from home for Show and Tell. Nice Garden gloves!
We loved investigating all of the different types of gardens-flower, fruits, vegetable and of course our favorite Herbs! Can you eat a plant? Yes, if it is an herb!
The best thing of all was taste testing herbs! First, we had to pull apart the leaves of Rosemary, Chives and Thyme.
We mixed the herbs with cream cheese and put it on a cracker.
We graphed our results:
Rosemary was the winner!
