Book: My Garden by Kevin Henkes
Song: “The Seed” (Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)
I’m a little planted seed (crouch into a ball)
Planted seed, planted seed.
I’m a little planted seed,
This is how I grow.
Additional verses:
See the rain come sprinkling down…
Sunshine comes down through the trees…
Now I am a growing bud…

Flannel: There’s Something in My Garden
There’s something in my garden,
Now what can it be?
There’s something in my garden
That I can’t really see.
Hear its funny sound….
Ribbit – Ribbit – Ribbit
A Frog is what I found!
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
Repeat with other animals, such as a crow (caw-caw-caw), mouse (squeak-squeak-squeak), rabbit (thump-thump-thump), bird (tweet-tweet-tweet) etc.

Scarf Song: “Will Our Flowers Bloom?” (Tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)
The seeds from the pack go in the ground (poke with finger)
In the ground, in the ground
The seeds from the pack go in the ground
Will our flowers bloom?
The rain from the sky goes drip drip drop (flutter fingers down)
Drip drip drop, drip drip drop
The rain from the sky goes drip drip drop
Will our flowers bloom?
The sun above is bright and hot (arms make a circle over head)
Bright and hot, bright and hot
The sun above is bright and hot
Will our flowers bloom?
Our little seeds are sprouting fast (fingers grow upward)
Sprouting fast, sprouting fast
Our little seeds are sprouting fast
Look! Our flowers bloomed! (cup hands, then spread open)
We did this with actions and scarves so we would have colorful “blooms.”
