Today we are studying flowers. It's a lovely 74 today and it seems like the perfect thing to learn about for "F".

We observed the lettuce plants, the pea flowers and the sprouting carrots in our garden.
We took a walk and identified the many flowers gracing the neighbors yards. We took pictures till the camera battery died! All the trees are in bloom and there are hundreds of bees working on the blossoms. What a nice way to tie in previous lessons!
We learned the different parts of flowers.
We read:
From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons
Flowers
Wildflowers of California's Central Valley and Sierra
Thumbprint flowers would have been a fun activity, too, but we didn't have time to get to it. GirlofGod made the children a flower balloon, instead.
