Ms. Szymaszek’s Investigations:
What’s
the name of that plant again? I want to
draw it.
May 21-25, 2012
During the
week of May 21st, the children in the afternoon worked on creating a
map of the garden. First, the children
planted several flats of new flowers, plants, and vegetables. Next, the children worked to create a map by
reflecting on the plants they had planted.
The children used small clipboards and small pieces of paper to draw
tiles of the plants. Next, the children
placed them on the poster-board map of the garden as drawn by the teacher. The children then wrote the names of the
plants for reference.
