UNDERSTANDING Do one of these:
Make a plan to begin a garden in your yard. It could be a flower garden, a vegetable garden, or a combination of the two. If you already have one, ask your parents if you could have a small section of it for a garden of your own. Plan out what you will plant, what you will need to do to prepare the soil, and where the plants will go. Bring a drawing of your garden plan.
Take pictures of 10 different kinds of trees and identify them.
Draw or paint a picture of a particular tree or flower that is beautiful to you and bring it to class.
