To further our
study of community and communication, the XP class is investigating what it
means to listen…not just to one another but also deeply to all life
everywhere.
In an effort to
support this process, your child has agreed to adopt a plant for the year.
Together we
identified the needs of a plant, discovering that they are the same needs shared
by all living organisms: sunlight, water, air, food, temperature and space.
Over the next year,
the children will be listening to the plants and how they communicate their needs… Does
it need more light or less? Does it need
more water, less or is it just right?
Does the plant need a new pot with more room or is it looking a little
peckish and in need of some plant food?
What do plants eat? Where does plant food come from?
It’s my hope that the whole family might enjoy listening in new and different ways to the life all around us.
