Science: This week, students planted wheat berry seeds. Over the next week or two, we’ll be learning that plants need water and light to grow, and watching our wheat berries sprout.
You can support your child’s curiosity at home by keeping household plants! You can grow them from seeds, or buy them full-grown at the store. Invite your child to choose a plant that they find interesting. Then encourage your child to think about how best to meet the plant’s needs (such as how often to water it, and where to place it so that it gets sunlight).
