R is for Roots

At center time today the children made book tilted What do seeds need to grow?  On each page the sentence described one thing that seeds needed to grow.  The children then drew the object in as part of the illustration.  For example, on the page that said, "Seeds need the sun to grow," the children drew a sun.  At another center  the children practiced counting and one to one correspondence by drawing petals on a flower.  This was tricky for some of the children to slow down and count and draw accurately. Our song for the day was "Flowers, Stems, Leaves, and Roots," which we sang to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."
