Need for green....

I always incorporate some plants in my classrooms. Our learning room has a great windowsill that gets sunlight that I can't wait to cover in neat plants...once the little one grows out of eating dirt! For now we have our plants out of her reach for safety reasons. This baby pine tree has just taken residence on top of the book shelf. How can you bring plants into your home? Teaching children to care for plants is a great way to give them responsibility. A small spray bottle works fabulously for watering the plants. Even my 2-year olds took are of all the plants when I taught toddlers. Give it a try!
