62 Plants: Supplemental Guide 2C | Plant Parts
Reviewing the Read-Aloud 10 minutes
What Have We Learned?
- Remind students that they heard about plant parts. Using a potted
plant, point out the basic parts of plants—seeds, stems, leaves, and
flowers. Remind students that some parts are underground, or under
the soil, like the seeds when they are planted and the roots. - Have students use Response Card 1 to tell their partner about the
parts of a sunflower.
Songs and Chants - Use the Songs and Chants for Plant Parts to review plant parts. These
songs can be sung to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot.”
Note: Prior to singing, you may choose to have students identify
different parts of their bodies as plant parts. For example, their legs
can be the roots, their torso can be the stem, their arms can be the
leaves, and their head can be the flower. Students can move their
corresponding body part when they sing about that plant part.
