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

*marks the books we read


A Seed Is Sleepy  by Dianna Hutts Aston*
Plant a Little Seed  by Bonnie Christensen
The Watermelon Seed  by Greg Pizzoli*
Once There Was a Seed  by Judith Anderson
Little Seeds  by Charles Ghigna*

For our craft we decorated small brown cardboard pots

Extra activities:

We talked about the letter "S" the sound it makes and words that begin with "S"

Planting Time
(sung to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Dig, dig, dig the earth (make digging motion)
Then you plant your seeds (pretend to drop seeds)
A gentle rain (flutter fingers down)
And bright sunshine (circle arms above head)
Will help your flowers grow (put hands together, raise them and then part your palms)

Seeds Grow
(sung to "Farmer in the Dell")

the Gardner plants the seeds
the Gardner plants the seeds
Deep down inside the ground
The Gardner plants the seeds

The rain clouds give them water
The rain clouds give them water
Seeds need some water to drink
The rain clouds give them water

The sun gives heat and light
The sun gives heat and light
Seeds like it warm and bright
The sun gives heat and light

The Gardner pulls the weeds
The Gardner pulls the weeds
Seeds need the room to grow
The Gardner pulls the weeds

The seeds grow into flowers
The seeds grow into flowers
Flowers that are beautiful
The seeds grow into flowers
