How things Grow

For our unit on “How things Grow and Mother’s Day, the children planted an edible salad cup. They planted Romaine Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce, Spinach and Nasturtium seeds. Once sprouted and growing, their Moms had mixed salad greens. Both the leaves (peppery taste) and the flowers of the Nasturtium are edible. The children also helped to care for an Avocado tree that was started from a pit. After eating a Mango they observed the removal of a Mango seed from the pit and then placed it in a sandwich bag with a damp paper towel. Excitement prevailed when they saw the first root of the Mango seed start to grow. Healthy foods and how they grow helped make learning fun!
