**Let us know if you have a garden or any plants you are growing!**
- First grade is also learning about plants, and apple seeds shared by Johnny Appleseed. They will also get to design a habitat for new pandas at the zoo in their Science project
--They have learned so much about how different animals care for their young and how animals protect themselves in their habitats!
