Our Field Trip to the Greenhouse-June 3, 2010

Today we took a trip to the greenhouse. We planted some plants and the pots even had little high heels for the ladies or shoes for the men. We then had a picnic lunch where we ate our lunch on blankets in amongst the flowers. We made a flower out of seeds that can be planted and will grow in our gardens at home. We used all of our senses to tour the greenhouse today; sight, sound, touch and smell. We even used our sense of taste. Yes we ate the leaves of a plant....some LETTUCE and SPINACH of course.
We got to see red worms as they made compost from food scraps. We also saw some different bugs and talked about how some bugs help plants to grow. We learnt about the different parts of the plant and what each plant part does.
We were very lucky for Mrs. Lutz to share the pansy story that was passed down from her grandmother. Overall we had a very fun-filled day!!!
Thanks to Mrs. Lutz and everyone else who participated.
