Today the Tel Aviv class had a very special guest: Elizabeth the seed expert! Elizabeth and Sasha are friends from URJ Camp Kalsman where Elizabeth was in charge of the camp garden. Elizabeth read a book about how seeds grow during circle time and then everyone got a chance to plant! Using their excellent fine motor and balancing skills, the Tel Aviv kids filled up personal seed cups by using spoons to transfer dirt. Then, they planted some seeds that they found on the playground! Micah G. even brought in a whole bag of seeds from his house for our special seed planting day! Lastly, the group planted special flower bulbs in a Tel Aviv garden box that we will have on our window sill. Over the next few weeks we will be carefully watching our seeds, hoping that they will grow. Thanks for visiting us Elizabeth! It was a fun dirt-filled day and we loved playing and learning with you!

Ok - laughing at who is front and center with Elizabeth while she is reading and teaching the kids at the table! Micah was so excited. Thank you for having Elizabeth join the class.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the Gladstones are gardeners! What a cool activity on so many levels. I am thrilled at all the nature experiences Adam is having. And including a visit from an expert, no less! Can't wait to see what grows!
