In our group time today we keep extending the nature experience as this has been what we have been learning this past few days. Today we did something different- we choose to enjoy the warn weather and had a group moment in the yard and had the experience of planting. Outside in the veranda Miss Gabi set up a pot with soil than each children were invited to come over and make their own plant. They put the seeds for flower or vegetables in the bottle of the little container and after that cover it with soil. Wooow what a nice new learning, we cannot wait until our vegetables and flowers grow up. In this afternoon we will keep taking care of our “new garden” and watering the “baby- plant”.
Teaching toddlers about how to plant and making a little garden is a nice way to start teaching children about taking care of something real and prepare the surrounding environment to support it. They will still be getting involved in the process by watching it grow up. Also, planting helps them develop their fine motor skills doing delicate action as a watering and putting more soil in the pots.
I hope you like taking a look what we enjoyed today….
