The theme in USB’s class this term is animals and plants so
he has been interested in knowing more about life cycles and animal anatomy.
I’m not sure if they’ve started on plants yet but I have been hearing a lot about
different animals!
I set up this green bean life cycle set from Safari Ltd and
made a printable showing the progression in seed growth. There are a few free
printables available online to go with the life cycle set but I chose to make
my own so I can use the font that USB is practising in his classroom. I have
also made 3-part cards printables which I will set up for USB another day and
the same printable can be made into a book.
To present the tray, I showed each model and verbally said
its corresponding state on the life cycle and placed the model in the correct
box. The great thing about this set is that each of the models has a label on
the bottom so the child can self-correct by checking the labels against their
work on the sheet.
Hopefully, some time during the week, we’ll plant some green
bean seeds and see if we could get some seedlings. If you use the printables,
please leave a comment and link back to this blog and tag @fix.grow.create on
