What have we been doing?

I apologize for the break in my updates! I am also in school and the last few weeks have been hectic with papers to hand in - but that's no excuse. We have begun our study of plants and the children are showing great curiosity. Here are some of the questions that have come up already...

- "How do grain come from wheat?" - M
- "Why when you make flour do you put it in the machine?" - M
- "How they (plants)grow up?" - A
- "Why we eat fruits and vegetables?" - D
- "Why fruits are healthy?" - J
- "Why do the people pick the vegetables and fruits and give it to the grocery
store?" - J
- "Why people buy fruits from the store?" - F

These are questions we will work to answer during our study. Take a look at the great plant realted videos Sesame Street has to offer, the links are below...

We are curious about wheat and bread so this one gives us a lot of ideas.
