I’m a Little Seed

June 9, 2009 by notjustcute Filed Under: Building Readers, Learning through Play and Experience, Music and Movement Leave a Comment

You can never really have too many songs and fingerplays, can you?  So here’s another one that is kid-tested and approved!  Sing to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”.

I’m a little seed in the soil so deep.
I sit and I wait and I don’t make a peep.
Give me rain and sunshine, and what do you know,
I sprout from the soil and I start to grow!

 

Feel free to let the children act it out as they sing, curling up in a quiet ball, and then “sprouting” and stretching up to grow.  Again, songs and fingerplays increase language skills and reading readiness.  This one in particular teaches the vocabulary words “sprout” and “soil”, as well as the novel word “peep”.  The needs of seeds are also introduced.

I’m Amanda Morgan. Here’s what I’m about…

In early education, there is too much distance between what we know and what we do. I bridge the gaps that exist between academia, decision-makers, educators, and parents so that together, we can improve the quality of early education while also respecting and protecting the childhood experience.
