Preschooler learns about planting
Cole Smith, a student of Saint Mark kindergarten, is assisted by Michele Hayes as he prepares to plant his begonia in the playground at Saint Mark
Preschool and kindergarten classes at Saint Mark United Methodist Church have the opportunity to plant flowers in either the fall or spring garden.
Children excitedly monitor the growth of their special flower each day. While studying insects in the spring, they observe the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies, and then release the butterflies into the garden to further enrich their study of nature. The opportunity to dig in the dirt makes learning even more fun.
