Intro to plants/living things

The first part of our unit was a trip to the library.  We had to pick up books on plants and other living things. When we were there, DD stated that she wanted a library card.  I was in the middle of telling her that she is too young when the lady checking us out said she could in fact have one.  So I signed her up and she was so excited to have her very own card!

The library has lots of really nice plants growing all around outside.  We took time to look at each, find the flower, the leaves, the stem.  We found a plant that had berries growing on it and talked about never eating something without asking first.

When we got home we read some books and had fun drawing plants on the chalkboard.

That night DD colored a plant picture and kept trying to smell the flower.  Very cute!
