Counterpane

students visit Atlanta Botanical Garden

The Atlanta Botanical Garden was the meeting place for Counterpane families

and teachers, extending classroom studies through hands-on examination of

leaves, plants with parallel veins, aerial roots, complete and incomplete

flowers, etc.

Counterpane's science curriculum, pre-school through high school, includes

botanical nomenclature and species identification with increasing complexity.

On campus, Counterpane the students reinforce the concepts through detailed

drawings and organic gardening.

At Atlanta's Botanical Garden, a scavenger hunt to find plants with

special characteristics was the highlight of the day, with students teaching

their parents as teachers enjoyed the fruit of their efforts.

As Counterpane parent Sherry Williams related, "Mandel and I both enjoyed

interacting as we worked on the scavenger hunt, but above all was the fun

we had learning and exploring together."
