After planting vegetables in the little garden in the back
yard of our miniature house, the children took responsibility of caring for
them.
Trystan "It takes a long time for the vegetables to
grow." Trystan’s statement shows an understanding of the time required to
grow our own fruits and vegetables.
We made a plan to water and care for the garden every day
after group time.
In the meantime, while waiting for our vegetables to grow,
we will take a walk to the grocery store to buy some fruits and vegetables.
By exploring this process, the children will be able to
recognize the difference it makes to have to plan everything ahead of time, the
patience of waiting, the hard work involved in growing a garden, and the limitations
it has on the varieties of food available to you.
While waiting for our garden to grow, we will explore more
similarities and differences between the way people lived long ago and the way
we live now.
