Kitah Alef celebrated the birthday of the trees this week by planting Lima beans. We also played with dirt in our sensory table all week long digging up all kinds of treasures. Morah Myriam held up a camel that we found in the dirt and asked "What animal is this?" Caleb: "Giraffe" Morah Myriam replied, "I think it might be a camel..." Everyone: "Yes, a camel!" Morah Myriam: "Where do camels live?" Caleb: "New York!" :-)
We asked the children "Who likes the trees?" Ezra: "Me, me, me!" Holding up a bag of beans, Morah Mushkie asked: "What is this?" Sammy: "Beans!"Should we plant the beans inside the dirt? Class: "Yes!"
So, in celebration of TuBeshvat we planted beans in a little pot for each child. We dropped the bean in the dirt and added more dirt on top.
Once everyone had placed their bean into their pot we added water.
We placed all of our pots by the window so they would benefit from the sunlight. Every day we add a little water and we wait....
We have been talking about the trees on the playground. We are hugging the trees and giving them lots of love. We can't wait to watch our little beans grow!
