the carrot seed

There are many books that we will reread throughout the year. When readers reread, they practice reading in different ways - sounding like the characters or acting out the stories. This week, we talked about the characters in one of the books we've been rereading - The Carrot Seed. We made a list of the characters and talked about the lines of those characters in the story. We then brought chairs to our rug area for our audience. We discussed what it means to be an audience, what it looks and sounds like. The children acted out the story twice - there was incredible joy throughout our rereading of this familiar story!

 

 

In the series of photographs, KC is our carrot seed. 

He suddenly grows into a carrot at the end of the story!

sprinkles the ground with water!
