Foundation Crops (guest teacher Mrs. Harris)

We had a very hands on lesson on Foundation crops: the Origin of Agriculture presented by the fabulous Mrs. Harris.
Students held, smelled (and some tasted) seeds then drew and labeled them. Next they found out what the exact seed were.
FUN!!!!!

  1. What great classes you have. It was sure fun to be there with the kids. I love how much they know about some items and how little about others (lentils)!
