How does your garden grow? Do you garden with your students? Whether you are growing beans on the window sill, flowers in a pot, studying different seeds, the life cycle of plants, or go all out with a school or family garden, here are some resources to support your gardening adventure! Introducing gardening and the love of growing plants at an early age is so important. As students are involved in digging in the soil, placing and watering seeds, and waiting to see what will emerge, their love for gardening will also materialize!
This cut & paste emergent reader is a perfect way to introduce garden or plant themes. It talks about seeds, soil, watering, and growing of plants. Students can practice their cutting skills while matching the pictures on each page of the book they create. Students love to create their very own books that they can read again and again.

I love the different ways teachers have used these seed packet crafts! Some have used them as plant markers or in their dramatic play area garden shop. Others told me they used them for ABC order or for their word wall. How can you use these seed packets to increase learning?
One teacher said she printed them out, got a few beans seeds, and mailed them home to her students last spring during the beginning of distance learning. For added learning there is a poem on the back of each seed packet!
