Eating roots, leaves and flowers!

We've been so busy learning about plants this week! Our carrot top has really started to grow! We soaked beans in water, and planted seeds in dirt. Our mint plant did not grow roots when we let it sit in a bowl of water. One child pointed out that's because we didn't use any dirt! We're going to try a basil plant next to see if we can root it in a bowl of water. We learned about roots, leaves and flowers, and that we eat all of those! Some children didn't like thinking about a carrot being a root.

On Thursday we made a salad of roots, leaves and flowers and we enjoyed eating it with our lunch.
Yummy!!
