Trader Mates

Plants in a Row! We learned where different fruits and veggies grow!

Wow, this week we had a blast learning about the importance of farms and we applied what we learned about plants last week to plants on a farm.  After reading a fabulous book called, How’d That Get in My Lunchbox?? the kids were AMAZED that every food in our lunches were from a farm! We had acting as farmers, delivery truck drivers, grocers, and mommies and daddies buying food from the store!

Of course we had to eat! The kiddos were given veggies and then they had to determine what part of the plant it was! Carrots were a hit, broccoli-not so much!

This carrot is a root that grows in the ground!

We’ve been really working hard on sight words that begin with “wh” and “th”. There’s quite a few we’ve learned but they can be a little tricky! Here are some ways we practiced them this week. Please continue practicing them at home.

Reading and writing sight words on the playground

“I have _____, who has ______?” The kids had fun reading their
sight words with their finger flashlights as we played this game.
They had to read their cards and listen for their word to be called.

Our butterfly friends were ready to enter the big world today. Good-bye, friends!

Rockstar, thank you for letting us watch you grow!

So long!
