We got to school on Monday, looked at our science center and saw some sprouts in the pea garden! Blake hurried over telling us "the peas worked!!" They were an inch tall which was sweet! Today we returned and they were 4 inches high. Marley really wanted to water them but they are still really wet so we will wait. We started making pictures of how they look to keep track of their progress. Then I asked Noah to check his bean which is hanging in a ziplock back with wet paper towels and his bean plant was 7 inches tall. Why are they growing? Water, sunshine were two answers we know. One of Matt's beans is all soggy and not growing and we will try to figure out why. The discussion at snack time started with eating the peas when they are grown up. I don't think we will make it to that stage at school but maybe we can send a few home for the summer if they keep growing.
Friday we are going on a walk to the Farm Market to collect blossoms and get some plants for the planters in front of the school. We could use a wagon to bring the flowers back to school. I sent a note about the field trips for May.
