Alright, enough about weather...for now! Remember this cute flower I blogged about ages ago?
It was ages trust me. I started plants a couple weeks too soon, so we came back to them this week! We planted some flowers and are reviewing the parts of the plant, so we made a mini version of the big one we worked with before!
My kiddos traced their petals on colored paper. I actually made those tracers for a turkey project during Thanksgiving and was so excited I could use them again and not make more tracers! I do not like to trace and cut things for my little ones so I will make tracers for them before I think about tracing out a million flower petals! I even make them share! WHAAAT!? Yes, I only make one tracer per table too! I usually make them out of cereal boxes or granola bar boxes.
After all their parts were traced and cut they put their flowers together!
I made a sheet with the different parts that they cut out and glued to the correct part of the flower.
I hung them up in the hall and of course never took a picture of our cute little flower garden! Oops! :)
I love this! I never thought of using cereal boxes to make tracers...I always just used old file folders. Thanks for a great tip because I make tracers all the time!! :)

So funny! I was wondering all day how you got the kids to cut out petals. Ha! I'm easily amazed. Such a great idea! I feel like we can do plants this long next year, too. It's such a great unit and so much to cover! :)

The secret is out...tracers!
DeleteArgh, the snow is headed my way too! I thought the poem went April showers, not April blizzards!!

I agree! What do April blizzards bring!? NOTHING! :)
DeleteOur weather has been so back and forth, too. Sure makes it interesting, doesn't it?

Yes it does! I wish the snow would stay away!
DeleteSuch cute flowers! I bet your kids have so much fun in your class. And I hear you about the snow, when will this end?! Seriously!
