Before the Kindergarten graduation ceremony, the whole class performed a song.
LYRICS:
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The roots hold the plant in the ground,
They gather up the water that falls around.
And there's a root inside of me
Because a carrot is a root that I eat.
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The stem is an elevator up from the ground,
The water goes up and the sugar back down
And there's a stem inside of me
Because celery is a stem that I eat.
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The leaves are the kitchens where the food is done
They breathe the air and catch rays from the sun.
And there's a leaf inside of me
Because lettuce is a leaf that I eat.
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The flowers are dressed so colorfully,
They hold the pollen and attract the bees.
And there's a flower inside of me
Because cauliflower is a flower I eat
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The fruit gets ripe, then falls on down
It hold the seeds and feeds the ground.
And there's a fruit inside of me
Because an apple is a fruit that I eat.
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
The seeds get buried in the earth,
And the cycle starts again with a new plant's birth.
And there's a seed inside of me
Because sunflower is a seed that I eat.
That's six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need.
