This week in Miss Poley's Pre-K class at Brookside Montessori School, we made sunflowers out of paper plates, bubble wrap, construction paper, and paint. We learned about the life cycle of a sunflower, parts of the flower and read a story about how to grow sunflowers in our garden. As a culminating activity, we acted as scientists and dissected a real sunflower!
