We started our plant study by planting seeds, talking about the needs of plants, watching a seed in a plastic baggie grow a root, and planting that root and seeing it grow into a plant. |
Presentation of the parts of the plant. In this work you see the parts of the plant using a tree. The definition cards are for Sweet Boy because he is in 1st grade. For the 3-5 age group you only name the parts of the plant.

Hi! I'm Amy O in Yokohama--I've been following your blog for a while, but first time commenting:))
Love the wonderful materials you've used for teaching about plants/plant life cycles! I just posted a little while back about something similar. In Japan, growing morning glories (and other flowers and vegetables) is part of the public school curriculum from kindergarten. It's not Montessori--but it's pretty close. Stop by anytime if you like morning glory photos:))

p.s.--Gorgeous header photo! What a beautiful family:) (I have three, too, but all in elementary school now. I am *so* impressed that you are homeschooling with a newborn. I feel worn out just thinking about that...:)
Oops--wrong link! Here's the link to the morning glories:

Hello Amy! I just read your post about morning glories. That is wonderful!
Regarding homeschooling with a new born. It IS exhausting! My body is finally not aching at the end of the day and I am finally in a groove and not completely exhausted when my husband gets home!
Thanks! Stop by any time (she said, as if a homeschooling mom with a newborn had any time at all:)).
Seriously--I don't know how you're doing what you're doing--montessori homeschooling, newborn, *and* a blog...you go girl! Off to check out the link for the Hundred Board--thanks for the tip! My 6-year-old is struggling a little with numbers, and I think a material might just help:)
