Learning about plants and how they grow is important concept and a way to expand student's knowledge on their surrounding environment. Using children's literature to teach about this subject is a great way to integrate areas of the curriculum.
Growing our own plants in our classroom will be an exciting, motivational, and interactive way to teach students about plant growth. To introduce this I will read Fran's Flower by Lisa Bruce. This will be an interactive read-aloud. Throughout the book, I will ask the children prediction questions regarding the flower and what will make it grow. After reading it, we will then go over what we learned and talk about the things that are necessary for a plant to grow. Then we will each plant our own flowers in cups and help them grow.
