Miss Shirley's Large Group

Miss Shirley ran our large groups last week. I wanted to share with you a little more of what she did.

We sang a song about blossoms (Popcorn Popping) and about trees and flowers (In the Leafy Tree Tops). Miss Shirley drew a picture and shared with us the cycle of a plant from seed to blossom. She then let everyone touch the roots of a flower she pulled out of a pot. We then smelt different plants and compared them from stinky ones to sweet ones like sweet alyssum. We felt the different types, talked about colors and sizes. We also counted petals. Some had too many to count and some just had one, like the petunia. Everyone got to pick a flower to keep. I think it was one of the student's favorite large groups this year.
