PR-B Earth Day/Arbor Day Celebration

In combined celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day PR-B students from grades K-6 spent time with HDT staffers learning about plants and sprouts.

Although some students were a bit apprehensive about sprouts, most liked them.

Each group learned about five different sprouts (mung, alfalfa, rye, clover, quinoa). Students were able to see and touch the seeds, see pictures of each full-grown plant and taste each different kind of sprout. Each student also helped us fill out a worksheet with the information they had learned about sprouts. 

Following the sprout activity, students filled egg carton sections with soil and planted flower seeds.

Before returning to their regular school work in Staples, we did an activity about pollution and how it spreads underground. A great way to wrap up their time here.
