A Glimpse into her Botany Notebook pages

Writing and illustrating for their notebook employs all of the child, his memory, his creativity and the things that interested him the most about what we learned. The child remembers his work far better when all of his mind is involved in recording his learning than he does when he simply has to fill in the blank with the right answer. - Jeannie Fulbright

Learning about Seed Homes....
Apple and Peach
(The Knife is in the picture but she did not use it. I did!)


Peanuts


Pinecones


The Parts of a Seed -
We chose Kidney Beans


Classifying leaves as either a Monocot or Dicot


Classifying Flowers as either a Monocot or Dicot -

I had her cut out flower pictures.She had to put the Monocot flowers on the left and the Dicot Flowers on the right.  Monocot flowers come in 3's so count 3, 6, 9, and 12's  petals. Dicots Flowers come by 4 and 5 pedals.  (Count by 4's and 5's  so it can be  4, 8  and 5, 10, etc)
