Story Sequencing: How a Seed Grows

Cut the eight cards apart and mix them up before handing them out. Let children lay them in a row and tell the story out loud before gluing anything down. The full set of eight works for a whole-group pocket chart; pick four big steps for the retell page. Pair it with planting a real bean in a cup, then compare your plant to the cards each week at school or at home.

4 pages: a cover and 3 printable pages. Page 1: 4 story cards to cut out (plant, shovel, flower, sprout). Page 2: 4 more story cards (bee, seed, sunflower, watering). Page 3: Retell page with First, Next, Then and Last boxes to draw and write.
