Planting Radishes!


Mrs. Brenda Chaplin came to our classroom on Friday. She helped us plant radishes. We can't wait to see if we can grow vegetables!!

This time we placed two butter beans in a plastic bag. We also placed a wet paper towel in the bag. We then hung our bags in our classroom window.

We have learned that plants need air, light, space, and water to grow. We gave our butter beans all of these things. We will let you know their progress!
