Seeds

Our St Patrick's Day pots were a great transition for our study of seeds.  

Also, at last weeks Relief Society activity, they had left over kids growing kits. I grabbed a cucumber kit and a cosmo kit.  Freddie has the flowers and literally two days after we planted them they sprouted and the next day we had to take the lid off.  They grow fast (its a miracle grow kit!). 

Cedrik was a seed and grew into a strawberry plant.  His invisible strawberries were yummy (Freddie ate a lot). 

We found the seeds in our house, surprisingly, there are quite a few.  We learned (me too! It was a completely "duh" moment) that beans are seeds.  Way to go me. They ate lots of seeds this week and they love walnuts.  

They guessed how many seeds were in an apple.  9, in the one we cut open.  

I had some seed nomenclature cards and we also did some "organizing," as I call it of living vs non-living things because Cedrik talks about death a lot (it really is classifying, but in the moment I always forget the word and he loves to organize things).  He actually really understood the concept, I was surprised.  

On Friday morning we painted with seeds.  The walnut seed, in my opinion, made the coolest designs.  Cedrik said the pumpkin seed was his favorite.  :/ They ended up painting their entire bodies and Freddie melted down because they had to shower.  

Books: The Boy Who Grew Flowers (our favorite-Cedrik and I drew the boy, with flowers growing out of his head), research books,  From Seed to Sunflower, One Red Apple (beautiful!), Dirt on Their Skirts (baseball book, but still fun).

SEEDS!
