Houseplant Day

 

Today is Houseplant Day. Do you have any plants in your house?

 

Houseplants have a lot of benefits. They clean the air, lower your stress level, and can make you work a little bit better. They bring a little bit of the outdoors into the indoors.

 

A houseplant does not take much work. You can grow a houseplant with a little dirt, sun, and water. But watch out—different houseplants like more or less of these things!

 

A spider plant would be nice. They grow long vines.

 

Or, a small cactus could make for an excellent houseplant. Those need a lot of sun but not much water! 


-------------------------------


Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:


  1. Without looking back, can you spell the word "house?"

  2. What was today's story about?
