This unit is a tribute to Lady Bird Johnson, who brought the beauty of the wildflowers to Austin, the Texas hill country, and other U.S. cities. Lady Bird wanted all children to enjoy their beauty. If you ever visit Austin, I hope you visit the Lady Bird Wildflower Center to learn about native plants, observe the butterfly garden and learn about the research being done by scientists.
Teachers love this activity because it provides the option of using the Google Slides or printables.
