Little Green Thumbs 

We had a special visitor in our classroom this morning. Ms. Sarah from Little Green Thumbs came in to read us some stories about how plants grow and to talk with us about "pulse seeds". 

 
With a little help from a watering can, bright sunlight, and a lot of patience, two friends plant seeds in their community garden and watch how they grow. Slowly, the seeds turn into sprouts, which grow into stems, followed by leaves and buds! The garden will soon be teeming with life and ready for a harvest season celebration. But until then, the children water and wait 



Ms. Sarah showed us some "pulse" seeds. 

Pinto Beans
Kidney Beans
Chick Peas
Black Beans
Great Northern White Beans




Ask me what I noticed about the different kinds of seeds.




A local farmer has donated beans and peas 
for our students to plant in our classroom earth boxes.
