Activity: Today's activity is to take 5 or more of the words and use them in a story or a poem. Maybe you can draw pictures along with the story or poem. Another activity is to find some of these plants in your neighborhood. When we take the time to get to truly know the plants and animals, we will never forget them.

Gratitude: I'm thankful for learning about nature and the animals. We never stop learning no matter how old we become. What are you grateful for today?
