Ten Little Seedlings

This week we continue our study on living and nonliving things, specifically PLANTS! We have learned the parts of plants and are now moving on to the life cycle of a plant. Yesterday we planted our very own lima bean seeds and surprisingly they have already begun to grow! I cannot explain the pure excitement on the kids faces when they saw the little roots sprouting out of their seeds. Clearly this is going to be a very interesting unit-the kids are loving every second. Below I have included our shared reading for the week (always a good review activity at home, plus who doesn't love to sing?!), pictures of our growing plants, and a sample from our writing journals where we are recording observations on a daily basis :).




Shared Reading- Ten Little Seedlings (Tune: Ten Little Indians)

One little, two little, three little seedlings

Four little, five little, six little seedling

Seven little, eight little, nine little seedlings

Ten seeds flying in the wind.

One little, two little, three roots sprouting

Four little, five little, six roots sprouting

Seven little, eight little, nine roots sprouting

Ten roots sprouting in the ground.

One little, two little, three stems growing

Four little, five little, six stems growing

Seven little, eight little, nine stems growing

Ten stems growing in the air.

One little, two little, three flowers blooming

Four little, five little, six flowers blooming

Seven little, eight little, nine flowers blooming

Ten flowers blooming in the sun.
