Sunny Monday Brings 3 Kindergarten Classes out to the Garden

Children relate to many things in the natural world and it is fun to tie their time in the garden to something that is their size.  We did this by sowing baby carrot seeds to grow carrots the size of 5 and 6 year old fingers on a lovely spring morning.  First we sprinkled in baby carrot seeds and then little fingers scratched the soil's surface to work the seeds gently in.  The kindergarteners also made rain using plastic recycled yogurt containers and dripping water softly onto the top of the beds like drops of rain.  Happy Earth Day!
