The Tiny Seed

This week we had a fun time studying Eric Carle books. Our main story was The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. It is a great story to learn about seeds, plants and the seasons.


We read the story together every day. We completed a story study too.



The students had so much fun making Tiny Seed collages - just like Eric Carle. It is amazing!
The first day ... they chose which illustration that they were going to try and make so that they knew what colors to paint their paper. You have to paint the whole paper.


The next day they cut and glued their illustrations together. We used some bird seed to represent the seeds.



The pictures came out pretty cute - and Eric Carle-ish!




At the end of the week, we did a Literature Scoot as an informal assessment. I placed the cards on tables all around the room and students moved from one to the next. It is so much better than sitting in your seat taking a test. The students love doing these and they have no idea that they are being assessed. 
Yes ... tricky!



It sure was a fun week. Eric Carle books are the best!!!
