As we study plants, we also study how some plants help one another while growing. The First Nations story about the 3 Sisters Garden speaks to how the older sister (corn) helps the youngest sister (beans) by giving her support as she grows taller in the field. The middle sister (squash) is a bit wild and out of control and grows all over the field BUT also shades the soil, keeping moisture in.
The story also tells us how each sister helps to feed the First Nations family over the winter. Yesterday we created our very own 3 Sister Garden in the hallway! Please ask you child to tell you about the 3 Sisters Garden and what they learned ~ thanks!
