On Friday, June 21st, most children in our class brought home bean plants that we started growing in our class. As you will have noticed, we sprouted the beans on paper towel so we could see the roots. The seedlings are ready to be transplanted to soil now, and we hope the children will continue to take care of their plants. (We have been learning about what living things need to survive: air, water and food. Plants use sunlight to make food, and they also get nutrients from soil.)
It would be fun to find out if the plants produce any beans. Perhaps your family could post photos or comments on our blog throughout the summer holiday.
We watched the following time-lapse video of sprouting beans in our class, and we thought you might also enjoy watching it with your family. (The video also demonstrates how plants, like other living things, are able to move on their own. They just move so slowly that we don't normally notice it.)
P.S. If your child didn't bring home a plant on Friday, he/she will bring it home on Monday.
