Creating a Mini Garden

For this project, we will be creating a mini garden in our classroom to teach our kindergarteners about plants and their growth. This project will help students understand the importance of plants and how they contribute to our environment.

Learning Outcomes:

Methodology:

We will start by discussing the different parts of a plant and their functions. We will then talk about the importance of plants in our environment and how they help us. Next, we will create our mini garden using small pots, soil, and seeds. We will plant the seeds and water them regularly, observing their growth over time. We will also discuss the different stages of plant growth and what plants need to grow.
