We are continuing our exploration of seeds and today we examined how seeds grow. We started off by reading the delightful children’s book “Ten Seeds” by Ruth Brown…
While reading the book, we counted 10 seeds of our own…
The book starts off with 10 seeds that are planted in the ground but as we take a picture walk through each page we examine what happens to each seed or plant. One by one, the seeds and plants start to disappear…
And as we discover that each plant or seed has either been removed or stepped on, we also remove a seed from our trays and count how many we still have left…
And before long, we discover there are no more seeds on our board…
But we discover that new seeds start to appear so we can start all over again!
And now that we have counted all of our seeds, we go off to explore a little seed planting fun on our own. The children played with the seeds in their own little box of dirt…
And while playing, each child set aside one seed and planted it in a cup so we can watch it grow…
We wonder how long it will take for our seeds to grow!

oooh! a unique way to explore the plant life cycle and math at the same time! pinning this!
Thanks for pinning!!
The already planted most of our seeds, but the activities you have shared this week have me wanting to go pick some up just for exploring purposes. These activities never occurred to me. We so should have manipulated and played with our seeds before planting them.
Haha – I always find something I wish we would have done when it is too late!!!
This is such a good idea! I like how everything is tied together by the seeds — the book, counting and planting.
Isn’t it wonderful when you can find a way to connect literature with other areas of the classroom? One of my favorite things to do!
I love your idea. I was going to get the children to plant some seeds over Easter, so this will be perfect! Now I just need to locate a copy of the book:-)
