Do you remember our beans that we planted back in later February?
The plants are not very tall but we have beans!

They Might be Magic Beans
A week ago Friday when we attended the Young Farmers Exhibit
we planted beans.
We took care of them all week and was amazed how quickly they sprouted.
By Thursday all of them had poked out of the soil and were starting to reaching
for the sun shining in the window.
I thought that this would be a great opportunity to introduce the story of
Jack and the Beanstalk. After reading the story together, we coloured pictures
of castles, attached them to sticks and stuck them beside the beans.
Notice the one on the left?
It’s already starting to wind around the stick.
I wonder how tall it will be on Monday!

Spuds in Tubs 2014
You know it’s spring when it’s time to plant spuds.
We needed to get ours planted before our Spring Break happens next week.
Our StrongStart program has participated in this BC Agriculture program for several years. They provide the soil, seed, tubs, posters and curriculum. It’s great.
The tubs were ready with a bag of soil in each. Our seed potatoes had sprouts on them and we had to pick off the longest ones before planting.
We mixed the fertilizer into the soil then dug holes.
The children picked their potato and checked that they were ready to plant.
They dropped them into the hole and covered them up.
We also talked about what the seeds need to grow.
And finished off with giving the pots a good soak.
At the same time we planted bean seeds.
We will watch and see which one will grow the fastest.
The beans are planted in these little beakers and will sit on the window sill above the spud tubs.

Sign of the Week - bean, grow
This week we are reading the story Jack and the Beanstalk so the signs we will be focusing on are bean and grow.
Little Bean in the Ground
Little bean in the ground (children curl up on floor)
Sitting oh so still. (with hands wrapped around head)
Little bean, will you sprout?
Yes, I will! (jump up, arms stretch up high)
