This is a really super cool activity that will help kids with reading AND science! I would love to do this with my own name – so much fun! Gardening is such a fun activity to do with your kids and it provides so many learning opportunities, but, this is a very unique way that it can help your child with his/her reading skills! I love it!
From the site:
Kindergarteners spend hours and hours reading, writing and exploring the sounds in their own names, and in those of their classmates. Teachers love to use names to help reinforce key skills in early reading instruction… and parents can help!
Seriously, this looks like a lot of fun! Go there now: Activities : Plant Your Name with Seeds!
I found this activity – written by Julie Williams – on Education.com

I absolutely love this – Steve Spangler and his friend, Harmony Conger, are combining three very cool things for a great activity to do with your kids! It’s a wonderful mix of:
VALENTINES DAY + SCIENCE + CRAFTS = FUN, FUN, FUN!!
And the cool thing is, the kids get to learn some science while they’re being super creative! They learn about acids and bases! I’m telling you – learning about science is fun! Either it’s gotten a LOT better since I was a kid or I just had my head in the sand! Whatever is true, I’m just glad it’s so great these days! My daughter actually says that science is her FAVORITE subject! To me, that’s a SCORE – big time!!
Steve is sharing his fun and learning all over the web, which this internet-crazy mama thinks is GRRRREAT! You can read his blog right here: Steve Spangler Blog and he is even on Twitter!! Click here: Steve on Twitter – and say Hello! to him yourself!
