Things That Grow, August 5th and 6th, 2009


Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: Sally and the Purple Socks by Lisze Bechtold

Poem: Short Kid from Falling UP by Shel Silverstein

Book: Who Made This Cake? by Chihiro Nakagawa

Song: Once I was a Baby
Once I was a baby, baby, baby
Once I was a baby,
Small, small, small.

Now I’m getting bigger, bigger, bigger,
Now I’m getting bigger
Tall, tall, tall.

Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. We used flannel board pieces to tell the story.

Book: So Big! by Dan Yaccarino. We used actions with this one.

Activity: Growing Sunflowers. We all pretended to be little sunflower seeds, then with a little soil, a little sun, and a little rain – er a spray bottle. We all pretended to grow into great big sunflowers.

Book: Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert

Craft: Growing gardens. The kids glued pictures of vegetables onto a sheet of paper to plant their garden.
