Plentiful Plants #2 - Formative Week

For the formative week of our Plentiful Plants unit, the teachers recorded the children's knowledge about plants through different activities. First, the children created a living and non-living things venn diagram with a rock and a plant. Then Wendy presented the children with a large leaf with bug holes and asked, "How did these holes get here?" We used a human graph to record the responses for, do animals need plants?


Another day, the children took a walk through the forest to see what they can find. Along the way the children collected materials to make a forest collage.
