Library Learning Patch-Corn and Venus Fly Trap

Today was action packed. First our 4 year old member gave a very informative report on corn.He told us that there are three types of corn.  He also passed out coloring sheets for everyone to take home.
Good report!


Then I read a wonderful book from the librarySecrets of the Venus's Flytrap.
                                                  



All of us were fascinated by what we learned. We did not realize that it was such a small plant! We also learned that even though Venus Flytraps do not grow here, there are other carnivorous plants in East Texas.


                                                                  

We  made Venus  Flytraps out of paper plates and played a game to demonstrate that an insect must touch the sensors two times in order to trigger the plant to close.


We did not get to go out to the garden today, as it was raining all afternoon. Next week we will harvest the lettuce. Stay tuned!
