✅What Teachers Say About How to Grow a Sunflower:
❤️I'm currently using this in our summer reading camp with future 1st and 2nd graders. They are loving it! It is a great book to go through the steps before we actually plant our seeds. I've paired it with From Seed to Plant. It is a really great resource. Kayla Z.
❤️This was the perfect resource to use with my students. I am a science teacher but incorporate writing and ELA into my lessons. The students enjoyed it and were so proud of their books! I especially like that we could use it with other seeds, not just sunflowers. Kathryn B.
❤️My kids LOVED doing this writing activity! I even had a guest teacher finish the book with my students and it was easy for them to use as well. Emma Post
