The Tiny Seed

THE TINY SEED BY ERIC CARLE

It's finally spring! 

A GREAT spring classroom read aloud is Eric Carle's book The Tiny Seed.

It takes us along on a seed's journey as it blows off of a plant and gets planted itself, growing into its own seed-bearing flower. The Tiny Seed is a great book for students in Kindergarten and First Grade when doing a plant unit or discussing the life cycle of a plant!

THE TINY SEED BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

In The Tiny Seed, other seeds that fall from the plant have different fates- they may get eaten by birds or dried up by the sun. And those seeds that do make it to full-grown plants may be stepped on or be picked by people. This story makes students consider a seed needs to grow into a healthy plant.

I have created a pack to go along with the book The Tiny Seed. It includes book activities as well as science learning, with photos of the life cycle of a plant.

The unit will save you tons of teaching time, is no prep, and is great to leave for a sub!
