Have the children discuss what they learned and record it on chart paper. Have the children answer the questions on the enclosed sheet during your study of the weather. Divide the class into groups of 4 or 5. Then, assign each group an actual part of the growing process of corn. The groups should work together to think of a creative way to present this process to the class.
Crows eat all of the corn at the end of the book so there is no more corn.
Children love animals and might enjoy researching crows to find out more about their behavior. You may want to create a fun research project for your students. In the book, it became so hot that the chicken eggs came out hard-boiled. You may want to do an experiment to see how hot water must be to hard-boil eggs. The book THE YEAR OF NO MORE CORN does a wonderful job of introducing students to several different states.
