Field Trip - Como Conservatory!

Today we went to Como Conservatory and Zoo.  First, we had our Plants that Care class with Chelsea.  She talked to us about how plants help us and how we help plants.


Plants That Care Class

We played a game too!  We had to listen to a clue, figure out what plant was being described, pick out the name of the plant and what the plant looks like.  See if your child can tell you something they learned.  For example, cotton is woven in to the dollar bill so that it will not tear as easily.














We also got to make bath salts.  We took one scoop of salts and then had to decide what to add to it.  We could add lavender, peppermint or eucalyptus.

We also did a scavenger hunt through the North Garden.  We looked for various facts about plants as well as looking for plants of all colors.  Last, we had time to explore different areas of the conservatory and look at the animals.
