St. Matthew Learning Stories
We love sharing all the learning that is taking place in our programs. Every program at our centre shares a new story each month, so be sure to check back often! You can also email and print each story to share with friends and family.
With the spring season also comes the natural provocations of nature, growth and gardening! The toddler class started their gardening exploration with a bean and pea experiment. Planting beans and peas into a Ziplock baggie allowed the toddlers to observe the growth of the root and stem at each step of growth. Every morning the toddlers take a moment to look at the beans which are hanging in our window and watch the changes taking place. A chart beside our windows helps us to track the growth and progress and allows us to reflect on each stage of the process.
