  • Join to access all included materials

Young gardners read and listen to books about seeds, plants, and the growing process. They plant seeds in plastic cups to observe the process of root-growing and plant formation. The whole class walks through a field to collect seeds that stick to socks that they put over their shoes. Each child writes a story about one of the seeds they collected. A fascinating, engaging, and well-designed plan!
