HSV Garden Challenge Link UP





So happy to be participating in such a great link up party!  Here is what has happened in our "garden" since you last left us...(you can see our last months post here)



Working on the Planting Lapbooks from Homeschool Creations Preschool Corner.






Learning all about seeds and the parts of seeds.



Using seeds to make flower art.


Our Scholastic Newsletters...fun with sunflowers




Time to plant some more....using eggshells so we can plant directly into the ground.

what our kidney beans seeds look like today!



Continuing with our planting lapbooks






Our Spring is Here song...so cute! 
( Tune of "If you are happy and you know it clap your hands..."
Try it out  You know you are!)

If you look you'll see Spring is all around.
See the flowers coming up from the ground.
See the blossoms on the trees
Hear the buzzing of the bees
If you look, you'll see Spring is all around.



Here is the link to The Homeschool Village!  Join in on the green thumb fun!

Great activities! My MIL just mailed me some eggs to plant so I'm excited to see what comes of it =)
Melissa,

All of your activities look like everyone had so much fun. I like the idea of using the eggshells so you can move the seedlings straight into the ground. We made pots using toilet paper rolls so we can do the same.

It's fun isn't it? Growing things with the kids has been such a wonderful learning experience for all of us. I can tell your little ones are really learning, Melissa. I admire all of the time and effort you put into making it meaningful for them. The lapbook looks great.

You guys have been busy. I love the seed art!

Fun! I wish we'd used eggshells to start seeds this year. We also do a lot of seed sprouting in a Mason jar to eat with sandwiches and on salads, and growing microgreens, more useful educational activities for the littles.

The girls and I talked about what is happening outside with the plants and animals. Waking up!  Sammie also enjoyed this Sofia the First Unit. We had so much fun making our Chocolate Volcano Cakes from our Raddish box this week.   Of course some Spring crafting was in order. We made these easy cupcake paper and button flowers pictures. Also using some kitchen sponges (for stamping)  from dollar store to make these beautiful spring cards.  Thursday Science - again going to our Raddish box and finding a cool experiment. ...
