C is for Carrot

We learned all about letter "C" this week. We made a caterpillar, a cat and a carrot with blending words! We had fun learning about carrots! The carrot is really a "taproot". We learned that this means it is a big, main root that grows straight down into the ground. Along it's sides, little roots grow, too. We learned that roots are really important! They keep the soil around the plant. And almost all roots conduct water from the soil up to the plant!
