We had another wonderful day of All Creatures Great and Small!
Our theme was “planting seeds of hope” so we read a sweet story called Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. Our conversation was all about hope- what is it and what do we hope for? We talked about small hopes and big hopes, how it feels to be hopeful, and then I asked each child for one hope they have to write down.
Next we did our art/projects for the day. There were 3 stations. First, each child was invited to color a picture of “planting seeds of hope” for a nationwide UCC contest. I will reach out directly to each family to see if you’re interested in entering the art they made. Second, we decorated old CD’s (reusing for the win!) to hang as garden art. Then, we planted Mexican Sunflower seeds in a baggie with a wet paper towel. We will let the seeds germinate and then we’ll transfer them to soil. At this station we talked about how planting seeds gives us hope and the hope we have for the future plant. We will also discussed what a plant needs to grow and then I asked, “what do you need to grow?”
