There are many different types of plants throughout the book so I decided to make a lesson out of it. We are learning how to identify edible and non-edible plants and what health benefits they have.
We started with dandelions (Taraxacum).
Did you know you can eat every part of this plant, right down to the roots. You know we had to try this out so we went on a dandelion hunt but only found a few in bloom. We unanimously agreed that the taste was not so great. If you want to learn more, I included the Wiki link below.

Wiki page for dandelions.
Also on our list of plants are katniss, primrose, clove, rue, and night lock but we discovered that was a made up plant.
Happy Hunger Games!
