Going on a Field Trip

How much do you know about seeds?  Our fours and fives learned a lot about them when they visited Blue Jay Point this past week.

Some seeds fall to the ground, some are carried by animals, and some catch the wind and soar across fields and streams.  There are so many ways that seeds can travel!

The children listened to a seed story and played a fun seed game.  Do you know the connection between seeds and animals?  These kids do!

Then they went on a hunt through the park looking for "floaters" and “hitchhikers.”

Wonder what these naturalists found?  It looks to me like they found a lot of FUN!

 

Want to know more about seeds and how they get around?  Read Eric Carle's The Tiny Seed.  It's a great story for little scientists.
