Shirley's Flowers Large Group

Mrs. Shirley brings in a variety of flowers for the students to smell and feel. She talks about colors, names, smells and lets everyone have a flower to count the petals as they pull them off. This year, the students will divide into three groups at the rug to share flowers for feeling the roots, stems, leaves and petals, for talking about their smells and colors and discussing what ones that they like best. She will do this on Monday and Tuesday with a slight variation so all the students will have an opportunity to do it.
