I think this has been one of my favorite days of school all year. To conclude our study on plants, we read about the ultimate plant: Jack's beanstalk.
We read Jack and the Beanstalk by Steven Kellogg. If you haven't read this version of the story, you are missing out. It is a long story and I was worried about the children losing interest, but they stayed with me the whole time because the pictures and the rhythm of the story are hypnotic. It is the best!
I had laminated pictures of the story out of order. The kids told me what happened in each picture and I wrote a caption using their words at the bottom with an overhead marker. Then, we sequenced the pictures on a "story line."
Next, we made our own easy beanstalks.What you need:
Green construction paper for leaves and beanstalk
Cotton balls
Glue
String
What you do:
1.
2.
3. Add cotton balls for the clouds
4. Add leaves all along the spiral
5. Hang it up!
