Plants

This week we started our unit on plants.

On Tuesday, we learned a song called "Leaves, Flowers, Stems, and Roots" to discuss the different jobs each plant part has. Then we made mini books that had pictures and explanations about each part.

Here are the lyrics to the song- ask your son or daughter to show you the movements: (to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes")

Leaves, flowers, stems, and roots- stems and roots
Leaves, flowers, stems, and roots- stems and roots
Make food
Make seed
Support the plant
Collect
Leaves, flowers, stems, and roots- stems and roots

Within these next few weeks we will be examining the veins in leaves, watching water move up stems, and acting out and illustrating the steps of the life cycle of plants.
