Observational Drawing - Second Grade

The second grade engaged in observational drawing of plant life that was collected from our school yard.  The children were encouraged to look closely at their specimen and to add lots of detail.  This activity was introduced as a part of the larger second grade California wildlife mural project (more details on this project will be forthcoming).  One of the students had the idea to tape her plant specimen to her drawing; several others liked this idea and taped theirs on as well.
