What will Happen?

We wanted to know if seeds in the pumpkin would grow and if Indian corn would grow.

First we asked the children to predict what will happen if we added dirt to the pumpkin and Indian corn.  We wrote down what all of the children said so that we can revisit it later.

Children took turns adding dirt to the inside of the pumpkin and also into a bowl that the corn would go in.

Next the children watered the dirt.

Now we are just waiting to see what will happen.  We will be taking pictures to record what is happening to the project.  Children will also be telling us what they see and their answers will be recorded.

 Children will be writing and drawing about their families and their homes.

Spider on the Fence

We had our 1st Family Fall Festival this week and it was a huge successes.  I wish I would of been able to take pictures during the event, but I was way too busy.  I was able to take a picture of the children's spiders that we displayed on the fences for the event.

Aren't they the cutest things.
