| Adding the bushes |
The children examined the Water community and noticed that it was missing trees and flowers. I asked the children who plants trees and flowers in the community? "A Gardener!" they all answered.
We read Mrs. Spitzer's Garden by Edith Pattou and learned that gardeners are responsible for growing and maintaing all types of plants. They also need to give the plants lots of love and care.

| Making a garden |
The children turned into gardeners by adding plants to our Water community. They added blackberry, raspberry and blueberry bushes. Using the blow paint technique, the children created grand, old trees. Some of them even made a garden for their house.
