Plant Petting Zoo

Yesterday, our "Plant Petting Zoo" (as Braxton called it) opened! The students began making observations about lots of different kinds of plants! Students took detailed notes about the different physical attributes of each plant. They noted the colors, leaf type, size, texture and other important attributes. They will make these observations for two days.  On the third day, students will look at list of plants with descriptions. Based on those descriptions, they will try to determine the name of each plant.  This activity will greatly facilitate our future exploration of plants!

A HUGE thank you to Jim and Cindy Russell (Miss Russell's parents) for purchasing the plants for our class.  Which plant is your favorite? (Leave us a comment!)
