Planting a Garden in Room 6

By Caroline Arnold

A wonderful look at how students planted a school garden with real-life pictures. This book is packed with information which makes it a good resource, but a harder "read aloud". Great for classroom reference. 

Official description: 

Kindergarteners learn the joys of gardening in this close-up look at how plants grow.

A visit to Mrs. Best's classroom is always inspiring! Follow a classroom of real kindergartners as they grow a garden full of healthy vegetables. Joyful photographs show kids planting seeds, tending the seedlings, and harvesting (and eating!) the results. An exciting introduction to the math and science involved in growing a garden.
