Welcome to “Growing Minds Day by Day”, a compilation of educational resources for use by families and educators. Each week, the Growing Minds team will select a theme related to food, gardens, or nature, and share thematic recommendations for children’s literature, activities, local food recipes, and educational resources.
Weeding the Garden – Preschool
Children will recall information about plants and add to their understanding of what plants need to grow. In the garden, children will use pictures (or sample plants) and follow instructions to identify weeds and pull them. Children will work in teams to sort, count, and classify their weeds.
