Spring Products!


I had a few requests to add a plant observation log to my “My Seed to Plant Project.”  Please, re-download for the update!  If you have not purchased it, it is a quick and easy supplement to your current plant curriculum and is only $2!   

Here is my tip for planting with little ones:  Always have back-up seedlings!  I plant extra seeds in a normal sized pot.  When I notice that a student’s little pot does not have a sprout, I transfer a seedling into their pot before he/she comes into school the next day.  Also, sometimes when the students are measuring their plants, they accidentally break the stem.  It helps to have extra seedlings for this.  I also suggest letting them use paper rulers or measuring yarn and then comparing the yarn to the height of the plant.  I hate to see tears over broken plants.  In the past, I tried using scotch tape on one little boy’s plant…it does not work.

Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok. Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok.” to an apology but it is never ok to hurt a fellow student’s feelings, body, or to make them uncomfortable. 

“I accept your apology.” Is a good way for students to move past it if they are willing to do so. 

What do you have your students say?
