"The Tiny Seed"

We wrapped up our multi-week study of plants and seeds this week. We learned what plants need: air (or carbon dioxide), water, sun, and soil. We learned the parts of a plant: roots, stem, leaves, and petals. We examined seeds and took them apart, using a magnifying glass to examine their parts: seed coat, food storage, and baby plant. We read "The Tiny Seed" by Eric Carle, wrote what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story, and made our own giant flowers to match. Finally, we watched as our tiny seeds began to germinate and grow into little plants.
