Plants and Seeds and JACK AND THE BEANSTALK!
Reader's Theatre We had a lot of fun this week doing a Reader's Theatre of Jack and the Beanstalk to go along with our plant unit. I found some puppets for each of the 3 pages of text using these coloring book pages found at HERE at Sparkle Boxes. Then we divide up the parts and have readers use their most expressive voices.

Cute project when learning about Jack and the Beanstalk. Each student colors/cuts out a leaf, twists a long piece of green butcher paper, and decorates a "Jack" with their picture on it.
