IT´S SPRING! PLANTS UNIT (SECOND PART)

Creating a garden with children is an amazing experience. Not only it´s a special activity to do together, it´s also rewarding to see the plants grow. 

We are already seeing sprouts growing on almost all of our plants in "el huerto escolar"! The kids are so exited every day when we oberve the plants and see change. 

Today I´m sharing with you 2 garden printables for kids that will make gardening easier and a fun experience!

The first one is a set of garden markers. These can help us keep track of which plant is which and the picture helps children know what the plant will look like when it´s full grown.

After plants are watered, it´s time to wait and watch them grow! To help the children understand how long that takes and to record the process, we can use an observation sheet like this: 

In this log, there are 8 spaces at the bottom to write which fruits, vegetables or herbs you planted. On the side, there are numbers to represent days. As you observe your plants and water them each day, you color the box black. When your plants sprouts, you change to coloring in a green box. This helps your child see how many days it took for each plant to sprout and you can compare them better.

Five little monkeys

I use to tell this nursery rhyme as a story in the blackboard, but I found this song and it´s very funny! I hope you enjoy it!

Let´s play the Party Freeze game!

If you want to have a very fun time, watch this video and dance along with the kids!

Let´s go on a lion hunt!

Let´s go on a lion hunt! This song teaches prepositions (over, under, through and in), and new vocabulary (grass, mud, river, cave, binoculars) whth some creative play. 



LYRICS

We're going on a lion hunt X2
I've got my binoculars X2
I'm not scared X2

Oh, Look at that tall wavy grass
It's so tall

Can't go over it X2
Can't go under it X2
Just going to have to go through it X2
swish swish swish 

We're going on a lion hunt X2
I've got my binoculars X2
I'm not scared X2

Uh oh, there's a big river
Can't go over it X2 
Can't go under it X2 
Going to have to swim it X2
splash splash splash 

We're going on a lion hunt X2
I've got my binoculars X2
I'm not scared X2

Ugh, look at all that mud
so muddy
Can't go over it X2
Can't go under it X2
Going to have to go through it
squish squish squish 

We're going on a lion hunt X2
I've got my binoculars X2
I'm not scared X2

Uh oh, what's that
It's a cave
We can't go over it
We can't go under it
Going to have to go into it
step step step 

We're going on a lion hunt X2
I've got my binoculars X2
I'm not scared 
I'm a little scared

Sure is dark in here
What's that in the corner
I feel 2 big ears X 2
I feel 1 wet nose X 2
I feel 2 sharp teeth X2 
I know what that is
It's a lion

Let's get out of here

Let's run out of the cave
step step step 

Quickly back through the mud
squish squish squish

Let's cross the river
splash splash splash 

Through the tall grass
swish swish swish


Through the yard, up the stairs, into the house, close the door

We're safe

That's a close one

Let's not go lion hunting anymore!

And if you want to keep having fun, I reminder you that we introduced the bear version!

From caterpillar to butterfly!

The boys and girls are watching caterpillars grow into butterflies! They are observing the caterpillars at home and are so excited to watch them grow.

I offer you a  butterfly journal to register the evolution day by day. Can’t wait to see them change to butterflies!
