Gardening with Kindergarteners!

It has been a wonderful three months gardening with the kindergarteners!  We started our curriculum when it was warm and the plants were still growing and producing vegetables.  Now we have had our last class and the garden has been put to bed!

With the garden in this resting state, our last two classes were spent looking at and drawing a special spot in the garden that reminds us of fall and....

One small flower still growing!

This raised bed looks like fall...there are no plants.

The leaves in the garden are fall.

 

No plants here!  Just fall leaves.

 ...looking at what is in the soil in our raised beds! It is important for our plants to have good soil so it can grow!

We found little rocks.

There are leaves and pieces of wood in the dirt.

Rubbing the soil on our paper.

We found a burrowing spider!

Is that a worm?

Roots!
