Today students had the opportunity to explore three different
herbs--mint, sage, and rosemary--after having read selected poems from Anna's Garden Songs
for our current study on botany and gardening. Before I gave each
student their specimen we conversed on how these different herbs have
and can be used. Students then had to use their five senses to then
write descriptive words about each herb. Here's how a couple of students
described sage:
"It feels soft and fuzzy--kind of like how the leaves on pumpkins feel soft sometimes."
"It smells a little like mint, but it smells more like the stew my mom makes for dinner."
"It's furry-like and reminds me of fall."
