Dear Wonderbuggers,
Flowers are everywhere this time of year. We can see them going to work every day…to make seeds and fruits! We saw many different kinds of flowers out in the prairie and had a blast painting with flowers, too!
What other things can you do to keep learning about flowers? Here’s one idea -- find a few different kinds of flowering plants in your yard and watch them every day or so. You could even make a notebook to record your observations. Have your wonder bug draw a picture of what it looks like, paying close attention to the flowery part. When the plant goes to seed, plant a few seeds in a small pot or mark where the seeds land on the ground. Check on the seeds over time and into next spring and see what happens!
Here’s another idea -- draw a simple flower with petals, stem, leaves and roots; trace this three more times but leave out one plant part each time. For example, one drawing will have the whole plant without the roots and another will have the same plant without the leaves. Show the pictures to your wonder bugs and have him/her tell you what part is missing. Do you have any felt or fabric scraps lying around? If so, cut them into flower parts and have your wonder bug assemble the flower correctly and in silly ways, too. Create extra parts to make flowers with different colored petals and differently shaped leaves.
Need some snuggle time with your flower experts? Here are some favorite books staring our flowery friends:
What Does Bunny See? by Linda Sue Park (Read in class)
Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert
From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons
A Fruit is a Suitcase for Seeds by Jean Richards
Take care,
Miss Tara
