Leaves and Flowers

May 11-12 ,2015  Mother Goose Time

Hello everyone, on Monday the girls learned about leaves. We went outside and looked a several different types of leaves on the trees. Then we did the Living Leaf Science Project. I put a bag over one leaf to see how much water we would collect off of it.  We checked on the leaf a couple of days later and there wasn’t too much water in the bag.

During arts and crafts time, I discussed the parts of a plant and they created plant diagram with the provided materials. We also went over the parts of the plant during the project. For math they connected the dots and for literacy the girls drew a picture of what critters they would see in the garden and wrote a small story.

I did a small scavenger hunt and had the girls look for more sea creatures that we learned about and they found the octopus, sea turtle, jelly fish and sea horses. The sea turtle is a rescued turtle. It was found in a fishing net which cut the circulation off to its front flipper,so it to had its flipper amputated.
