Up in the Garden, Down in the Dirt by Kate Messner
Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:
· What does the garden do in the winter?
· Why do different things happen in the garden at different times?
Learn at Home activity for today:
Kitchen Band
Use pots and pans, containers, or another surface to create kitchen drums. Tap on them with your hands or an object. Invite your child to suggest songs to sing, or to create new songs with you.
Continued Weekly Activity
Did you eat any roots/leaves/stems today (for example, potatoes, lettuce or celery)? Talk about the parts of a plant with your child and discuss what kinds of plants they eat. Have your child draw a picture of their favorite plant that they eat.
I would love to see the drawings! Please feel free to text me or email a picture of your child's drawing msserbonescovid19@gmail.com
