I became a Master Gardener and am currently volunteering at the Hill Country Youth Ranch. Teaching is my background so working with the children is comfortable and rewarding for me. From the Junior Master Gardener Handbook I found a simple "rap" that would be fun to do with the boys and girls.
A verse from the guide:
Tomato sat on the railroad track
Thought he was the boss
Along came the choo-choo train (clap)
Tomato sauce.
I created several more verses:
Carrot sat on the railroad track
She’s really in a fix
Toot! Toot! Along it comes
Making carrot sticks.
Radishes are my delight
Straight from the garden soil
Wash them bite them yum yum yum
They are worth the toil.
What have you planted
In your garden space?
What else can we rhyme
In our greenhouse place?
Basil sat on the railroad track
Smelling oh so good
Along came the choo choo train
Pesto on our food.
And as our rap does end today
I hope you take the time
Clap it out or sing it strong
And try to make it rhyme.
As time allows perhaps the students can create a verse about something they have planted.
In the meantime the above fits with today's NaPoWriMo prompt!😀
