We were up to our earns learning about corn! Today we read a nonfiction book about Corn-From Kernel to Corncob! It give wonderful information about the life cycle of a kernel! My Multi-agers were captivated by the wonderful pictures and thorough information about the life of a kernel! Furthermore, the author does a A+ job making sure to highlight and revisit key vocabulary terms-kernel, husks, silks, pollinate, etc. After we read the story and shared many wonderful connections stories we complete a nonfiction-information graphic organizer to map out the main idea and the details! They copied down the notes in their Response Logs!
Next we made a corn stalk! They were given a sheet of green paper to use to make the stalk and a few pre-made corn cobs to glue on! Many wanted to add a foundation-field for their stalk to grow on!
