We have began planting new things in the garden for the fall season! The children were all hard at work with pulling out dead plants, adding to the compost and turning our soil! Our favorite part was shoveling out dirt and making new holes for our seeds and plants! :o)
We helped our frog family in the garden by taking them out of their home and temporarily keeping them in the bucket until the garden was redone for them to return to!!
We loved observing the frogs to make sure they were okay and didn't try to jump too high and escape! ;-)
We released 1/2 pint of ladybugs! This was really exciting! Their were ladybugs everywhere you turned..they even landed all over us!
Looking for all the ladybugs everywhere...
So since we have replanted the garden along with journaling every morning in our classroom we have began a gardening journal in the afternoon. We visit the garden outside everyday to see if any changes have came or seeds are starting to sprout. Than we make a record of it in our journal!
We start by talking about what day in the week it is, and sounding out the letters to the day so we can start remembering to spell it on our own! The children trace over it first to get a little practice in and then continue on to writing it themselves. The students have been practicing really hard and are learning to write in the lines! They are doing an awesome job and perfecting this task very fast! :-)

On the opposite side of the page is where they are recording the progress of the garden, after drawing what they see is growing out there, we write what day it has been so we know how much has grown within a time period!
Check out some of the great work!
