TREES

We explored trees this week. We looked closely at trees, made bark rubbings and leaf rubbings, and learned "how to be a tree". The children drew trees from their imagination, and then we visited a tree outside to make an observational drawing. We painted with branches and leaves of various trees, and printed leaves onto a t-shirt. We can wear our t-shirts for our upcoming picnic (photo op!)

We had a beautiful walk on our field trip and noticed a lot of different trees and woodpecker holes, and turtles on the logs.

Our week culminated in our depiction of a "forest" of trees, with our crowns of leaves, bark, and roots to drink up water from the earth. Each child has put together a book of all of our experiences, which we'll call A Book of Trees. Look for it!!

Until next time,
