Library Learning Patch - Children Discovering Nature
Week 12 - Grasses and Grass-like plants
This week's lesson was about grasses as well as monocots and dicots. Samples of all were passed out. The children learned to differentiate between dicots and monocots. Monocots have parallel veins. They also learned about reeds and sedges--"Reeds are round, sedges have edges" was the slogan for the day.

The book for the day was

Then it was harvesting time! This week's vegetables were sugar snap peas, onions, and cabbage.

Our squash are looking good--so far no squash bugs--maybe our petunias and bay leaves are working! Some should be ready for harvest next week. Wish us luck! Stop by and take a look at the garden!!
