Students in Mrs. High's preschool class had a fun day yesterday! They have been learning about the anatomy of a plant - from stem, to bud, to leaves - and were able to put their new knowledge into action! While it was raining outside, they started their root garden, planting seeds of radishes, chives, and carrots. Once the weather cleared in the afternoon, they spent some time outside planting flowers!

Mrs. High's Preschool class had some special visitors today - red worms and nightcrawlers! The class is starting a unit on plants and kicked it off by learning about worms and their role in growing big, strong plants! They learned about the body parts of a worm, what a worm eats, how it moves through the soil, and the nutrients it gives back with its castings.
