Thanks for all of your wonderful suggestions. I have saved all of your
ideas in a separate folder so that I can go back and organize them for my
use this year.

Here are a couple of more ideas.
Insects: what is an insect?
Bees and pollination
Other beneficial insects
Harmful insects
Predators of insects and how we can attract them to our garden
Tools: types of garden tools and safety
Care and maintenance of tools
How each tool is used
I've used variations on these from grades K-1 on up and have always used the
"tecnical" terms for plant parts, Pistil, stamen anther etc. Even the little
ones remember much. Also, most of these topics can be classed as science,
langauage arts, spelling, for those who ask why you are spending time on
"gardening" when there is "real" learning to be done!!
(I'm sure you know what I mean)
Have fun with it

"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
