The "Green Thumbs" of Room 6 !

On Friday, April 11, we planted sunflower, pumpkin, pea and bean seeds.

First, we put soil into our cups. We only filled our cups half-way with soil. Next, we put two seeds into the soil. Then ,we covered the seeds with more soil. Last,we added a little water to our soil and placed them on the windowsill.

With air, sunlight and water our seeds will begin to sprout! We will keep you posted on the growth of our plants!
