The Kindergarteners have been working hard learning about plants this Spring. To celebrate their hard work, they joined fourth grade in a fun hands-on project; planting their very own plants! The kindergarteners had so much fun extending their learning and getting messy along the way. They are also practicing responsibility as they tend to their plants daily!
