Planting Seed Potatoes

The children helped to fill the planters with soil and planted the seed potatoes. Some of the children wrote a label for the potatoes that we are growing. The potatoes we are growing are called Shannon and Casablanca. We talked about how the potatoes grow underground in the dark and if we see a shoot we have to cover it with soil to keep them in the dark. The children knew that they needed water and sunlight to grow and were looking forward to tasting them once they were ready.
