Theme: Cycle Stories

 Good day, Gardeners!

We usually make "Cycle Stories" in the Fall.

Today we tried this activity in Spring! 

We found many amazing examples of plants in different life cycle stages:

Your turn:

- Go for a walk or look out the window...

- What examples of plant life cycles can you find?

- Collect or draw your Cycle Story!

*What other cycles are there in our lives?

*We are also hearing the story, "The Boy Who Grew a Forest," by Sophia Gholz and using the platform Vooks to watch it!

...what do you think is the most effective way for plants to protect themselves from hungry herbivores?

...what do you think is the most effective way for plants to spread their seeds?

*Go for a walk outside or look out the window - how do the plants around you move their seeds around?
