Day One....Ahhh life begins!

Day One,
2/18/09
Today in English class I got a plastic sandwich bag, a white plain paper towel, and four seeds. I was told to fold the napkin and place it in the bag along with the seeds, then put water in the bag ( just enough to have the napkin moist). I was so elated to actually get my head out of notebooks and my hands on something other than a pen! Mr. Houp said we were growing our seeds and documenting what happened or didn't happen everyday at home. He also told the class to name our little seedlings which was hilarious. I didn't think that I would have so much fun naming a seed (OK, so I'm still a little geeky). I named my group of seeds the Jackson Four. There's Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and the runt is Michael.
I brought my seeds home after a long day at school and taped them to my window in my bedroom so they could get some sunlight. Nothing amazing has happened just yet, but I have a feeling little Michael may be thinking of a master plan to break out on his own. I will just have to keep watching. It is quite amazing what the tiniest things in life can produce. Just think, I have four seeds that will eventually become beans and produce more seeds that produce even more beans, and the circle of life continues...(I had a Lion King moment there)
