*This class is also available as semester courses. See the class linked below* In this once a week botany class children will learn all about plants through science, language arts, creative arts and geography! In this holistic approach to learning about plants, children will come to understand how to identify plants, which kinds of plants exist and how they relate to other plants, animals and their environment. The lesson takes a threefold approach: Introduction of concept Discussion and exploration Activity (either drawing of anatomy, diagrams, charts, writing, drawing) WEEKLY ACTIVITY BOOKLET In order to support the learning experience of the children we do create our own beautiful activity booklet with activities that the children can do at home. This is not needed in class. SCIENCE Children will learn about the characteristics of plants as well as the anatomy, structure and life cycle of different plants. They will do this through observation of diagrams and drawings of the teacher GEOGRAPHY By learning about plants' environments and needs, children will come to understand different geographical environments. We will spend time looking at plants from a wide range of biospheres, as well as discussing the local environment of each learner. LANGUAGE ARTS The children's book work and activities will include teacher - guided writing. The teacher will write a sentence or two, or add labels, that will compliment what they have drawn. CREATIVE ARTS We do not use worksheets in this class, and children are encouraged to have a dedicated lesson book where they can draw and write all their work. Waldorf Education integrates the arts into core academics and art plays a central role in the learning experience of the child. What the children finish with is a beautiful and creative textbook that they made and a deeper understanding of what they have learned.
