The Little Seed
A little seed went into the ground,
It slept all winter, safe and sound.
The sun came out, the rain came too,
Up popped a sprout of green and new.
It grew and grew, up to the sky,
A tall sunflower, standing high.
Where did the seed go first?
Name two things that helped the seed grow.
What did the seed grow into?
Now practice saying the poem out loud three times. Can you say the last two lines from memory?
