Guided Reading - In the Garden

For guided reading the reading group read the text In the Garden.  To engage the children's interest and to activate their prior knowledge I brought in a range of vegetables.  We had a great korero about where vegetables grow, the types of vegetables and our favourites!  At the end of the story the girl picks some strawberries.  I had a wonderful surprise for the children and we got to enjoy the yummy strawberries!!!
