The Tiny Seed

School is out and my beach trip is over so that means I have lots of time to catch up on my blog.  Let me pick up where I left off...plants.  During plant week, I read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.  Our class discusses the different parts of the plant and what a plant needs to live.  I created an anchor chart to show plant parts as well as sun, water, and soil.  Finally, the students (with step by step directions from me) color, cut, and glue plant parts onto construction paper.  I laminate this page and add it to our ongoing Carle/Gibbons book.
