Gardening Project for Kindergarten
"The Ranger" wrote in message ndwidth... I am teaching a kindergarten class about plants and one of the "science" projects is growing a series of plants from seedlings. I've planned out my plants but would like them to see them before we leave for the summer. Is there a way of assisting the initial growth of the seedlings? Heat helps, but plants have their own maturity times, and germination of a couple of days earlier is not going to get you results much faster in the long run. Maybe you could plant something that they could take home and nurture after school ends. If each child brings in a small plastic container with a hinged lid (like the ones cherry tomatoes come in), they could make a salad garden with a sprinkle of lettuce seeds in the middle, surrounded by green onions. The onions will be fun to taste long before they are ready to harvest, and baby lettuce can be nibbled on too, so the kids could get a little taste of their work before school ends. Then they could take it home and keep it watered for their own summer salads. --S. |
