Description
This resource is a book companion craft that includes multiple reading/writing printables (with a Lesson plan guide) to support the book The Digger and the Flower by Joseph Kuefler for a Kindergarten up to 2nd grade classroom.
The Digger and the Flower is an environmental focused text about a little excavator, Digger who stumbles upon a flower while working in the city and begins to care for it. The story twists when the little flower gets cut down by Digger’s friend who didn't even notice it… with this, Digger’s small deed creates big change in the city. It’s a story that can spark rich conversations about Digger’s actions and what we can do to help our Earth – like planting flowers. It would be a great text to use in the Spring and/or Earth Day.
