My Garden is Growing

Today I practiced writing the letter T and the numbers 7 and 8. I watched a video about the Life Cycle of a Plant. I liked the video because it showed me what the plants in my garden are doing. First I dug a hole, then put the seeds in, covered them up with dirt, and watered them. In the video they showed how the seeds need water and sunlight to grow roots, stems, leaves, buds, and flowers that turn into fruits and vegetables. I wrote the words rabbit, fence, and gate in my Language Arts Journal. I also wrote the words three, four, and five, and the numbers 3, 4, and 5 in my Math Journal. I played a game of dominos. I tended to my garden after we read the book The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. The seeds I planted last week are already beginning to sprout and the plants are growing tall. Finally, we went to the library and returned the books I read last week. There were new books on gardening waiting for me to take home. I also checked out two books about Star Wars and a Hulk video. I had no idea that the library had books about Star Wars or movies like The Incredible Hulk that I could take home. I'm beginning to like visiting the library more and more.

Today we read The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter

I played a game of dominos, but not with Bubby Wubby.

I asked the Librarians Michelle and James if they would
help me find a book about Star Wars so I could learn all
the characters. They found it!

My garden is growing.

These are the carrots.

This is the corn.

These are string beans.

This is the first watermelon sprout.

Shopping Day

Today I started out by writing the words, ground, dirt, water, field, trip, and place in my Science and Social Studies Journals. I also practiced writing the numbers 1 and 2. Then, I practiced writing lines, circles, and slanted lines. We read the book, "Curious George The Perfect Carrot" by Joe Fallon (adaptation of Marcy Goldberg Sacks television series). We played another game of dominos and dad surprised us in the middle of the game. He found money and we counted it. Then, using our survey from yesterday, we made a list of things we would need to buy at the store to create our fruit and vegetable garden. Finally, we went on a field trip to Lowe's where we bought seeds, baby plants, and tools to help us start building our garden tomorrow.

Today's library book was "Curious George: The Perfect Carrot".

This is where I will plant my fruit and vegetable garden.

We measured out the area for our garden.

My dad drew a funny smiley face while we were staking out the garden.

We went on a field trip to Lowe's to buy supplies for our garden.

Here I am with my seeds and some of the plants for the garden.

This is a video of me pushing the cart at Lowe's.
