Botany Curriculum Review 

This unit was mainly hands on, but we did refer to a number of books for content to build our unit, or for artistic inspiration or for project ideas. Some activities we got to, and others we just didn't find the time or inspiration to do. But hey, by the end of the year (and really summer), it's hard to push through academics when the weather is begging you to come outside and the pool is cool and refreshing and the beach is just beckoning you. So, while I wished we'd completed just a few more lessons, we did pretty good with this unit, especially with all the outside work that we did in the garden.
At this point, I'm going to punch holes in the lesson we did do and add them to the main lesson book we started last year. And when we get around to those last remaining lessons, well then, we can add those to this 'family' main lesson book at that point.
