You have listened to the story, The Tiny Seed, by Eric Carle. Now you and your reading buddy will read Growing Vegetable Soup, by Lois Ehlert. Some seeds grow into plants that we can eat. Our class will plant seeds that grow into lunch. As our seeds grow, we will take pictures of the plants. We will measure our plants. We will draw pictures of our plants. We will visit some vegetable gardens on the internet.
