Spring: Learning About Plants

We started by reading The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.

This book does a great job describing the various types of areas seeds can land and why they may or may not be good for plant growth.

We followed up with a little anchor chart that tells what plants need, and describes the parts of a flower. You can find the chart {here}

Click {here} to see the plant activity my class did last year.

Students filled in their plant pages from their booklets. Click {here} for more about that lesson on planting seeds.

The activities are taken from my pack. It includes all you need for your plant lesson, including the anchor chart!

We did our first flipflap book, and it was fun! This one was about the parts of a plant.

It was a freebie from Shelly Anton {here} Thanks for sharing this Shelly!

We discussed the life cycle of plants, using The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle as a springboard.

We talked all about the spring season, and compared it to the other seasons.

Students sorted seasonal pictures on a pocket chart.

Then did the corresponding cut and paste activity.

These activities are taken from my Season Sort and Four Season Activity pack:

I am SO happy that it finally looks {and feels} like spring here. 

I can't wait to take my students outside to do our Signs of Spring Scavenger Hunt...a freebie!
