Science
Gardening project: Went and bought a variety of seeds today. We cut the bottoms off of juice bottles and drilled holes in them for seed pots. Talked about why the hole is necessary for water drainage. Then Faith filled the pots with organic gardening soil. We sowed each type of seed in it's own container. Faith noted the variety of shapes, sizes, and colors of the seeds. We made labels for the plants by writing the names on popsicle sticks and poking them into the soil. Faith watered them with a spray bottle and then we set the containers on a tray (a lid to a large bin) for easy transportation in and out of the house. We also added the coleus cuttings that we made in the fall to the group.

Vocabulary: sow, annual, herb, decompose, impatiens, chives, oregano, zinnia, thyme
