Planting our Kinder-Garden!

I love, love, love springtime! Everything is just so cheery and beautiful!

Here’s what we’re going to use to decorate our very own kinder-garden!

 Our garden buddies are going to help us when we study plants. {Don’t mind the 3rd sentence! I didn’t realize “sunlight” was cut off until after I made my teacher example! The student copies are okay though!}

I hit the jackpot at Michaels the other day! They had a clearance on all of their Easter goodies and scrapbook paper was 8 sheets for $1! Of course I had to stock up! It’s always fun to add a touch to scrapbook paper to crafts 🙂 I used some to make the bees wings.

 We will read The Grouchy Ladybug and make our own little ladybug craftivity.

 and make our own time book!

I also picked up these adorable little gardening gloves while I was at Michaels…they were on sale for 50 cents. How could I not buy them!?

I knew I wanted to add them to our spring centers and then I stumbled across Michelle Griffo’s adorable sunflower seed math and was totally inspired!

I will have my kiddos scoop some sunflower seeds onto each glove, then write the amount on the corresponding gloves on the recording sheet.

You can download this recording sheet if you’d like to use it in your classroom! It can work with or without the gloves 🙂
