Flowers

This week we learned about flowers.  We used a couple of my herbal books for the pictures as well two other flower books from the library.  We also read Chrysanthemum, The Gunniwolf, The Tiny Seed and Planting a Rainbow.

Cedrik discovered flowers have pollen that bees use to make honey and they also have nectar (fruit juice) that butterflies and birds drink.  HHe learned the different parts of a flower and we tried to get them to change colors  using dyed water....the flowers were already dying so only one took any color to it but oh well. He drew a completely awesome picture of a bird sucking nectar that I need to take a picture of.  We sang a couple flower songs including Once There Was a Flower.

He has also finished learning the 5th Article of Faith and he and Freddie love to sing it.
