James and the Giant....Cabbage?

We had a fabulous time with our Third Grade Buddies this week, pretending we got swallowed up by enormous cabbages, similar to James in Roald Dahl's classic, James and the Giant Peach.
We had a discussion about the book and watched a very brief video clip of the movie. Then we substituted a giant cabbage for a giant peach and students worked with their buddies to write a story about their adventure living in a monstrous cabbage. Every student got to keep a cabbage plant to plant at home. Details about the this interesting cabbage program can be found here.
