July 24, 2013 Story Time - Plants

If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:

(*marks the books we read)



Over in the Garden  by Jennifer Ward*
From Seed to Plant  by Allan Fowler
Plant a Little Seed  by Bonnie Christensen*
Once There Was a Seed  by Judith Anderson and Mike Gordon
Something is Growing  by Walter Lyon Krudop
A Green, Green Garden  by Mercer Mayer*
Plantzilla  by Jerdine Nolen


For our craft we decorated small plant pots with foam shapes.

Extra activities:

A Little Sun
A little sun (hold arms above head)
A little rain (wiggle fingers in the air in a downward motion)
Now pull up all the weeds (pretend to pull weeds)
Our plants grow, all in a row (hold up all ten fingers lined up like plants)
From tiny little seeds (hold thumb and finger to show size of seeds)

Flowers Tall and Small
Plants tall (lift arms up)
Plants small (hold hands closer together)
Count them one by one,
Blowing with the breezes
In the springtime sun
1,2,3,4,5 (touch each finger as you count)

Plants
Sung to "The Farmer in the Dell"
The farmer plants the seeds
The farmer plants the seeds
Hi, Ho and Cherry O
The farmer plants the seeds

Repeat with the following verses
The rain begins to fall
The sun begins to shine
The plants begin to grow
The harvest now begins
