Perfect Plants

This weeks preschool was great! In our Letter Bag were things that began with P.


One of our Show & Tells this week was a pink princess plate with plants on it. It went perfectly with our letter!To begin our plant week, we talked about how plants breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen, which is good because we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. Then we played a relay. In the relay we used spoons to move the air, pom-poms, back and forth between a tree and lungs.


Our first craft was making plants out of paper. We reviewed the different parts of plants and what they need to grow.


For snack this week we ate different parts of plants. We ate roots (carrots), leaves (lettuce), stems (celery), fresh fruit, (apples/grapes), dehydrated fruit (craisins), seeds, and things made out of seeds, and even something made from nectar! Wow! Plants sure provide us with lots of food. Then we went on a plant scavenger hunt. We found all sorts of fun things! While we were on our hunt, we gathered leaves for another activity.


When our hunt was over we played DON'T EAT SPROUT!!! We put M&Ms on pictures of different plants. One person leaves the room and the group chooses a picture to be "Sprout." The person who left comes in and starts eating M&M's. When the person picks up Sprout everyone shouts "DON'T EAT SPROUT!!!!!" Then a new person is chosen to leave, and the game goes on.


Everyone got a flower as a gift from Miss Lauren, and then we used the leaves we gathered on the hunt to make leaf prints. What a perfect plant week!
