Our Pre-K class is beginning a Trees Study.
We will be observing and comparing trees to learn about what lives in them, what they're made from, and who cares for them. We hope this study will help everyone explore and appreciate nature. As we explore trees, we will use literacy, math, the arts and technology to explore as much as we can about trees. Please visit our classroom and our blog.
If you are able to do a "tree walk" with your child, we would appreciate your help in collecting tree parts to investigate. If you can, please take a bag to a tree area and collect things that have fallen, such as leaves, bark, acorns, twigs, flowers, fruit, or cones.
Thank you for playing an important role in our learning.
We took our own "tree walk" . We measured the trees and felt the bark on the trees and looked at small trees and big trees.
Students also looked for
trees that were
Deciduous or Evergreen.
The leaves on a Deciduous tree change colors and then fall off. The leaves on an Evergreen tree remain all year and they stay the same color.

We have been working on our picture
dictionary. We count the letters in the
words and talk about where we've seen
the tree parts, animals or insects.
We used play dough, twigs
and toy leaves and made our
own trees.
We drew leaves and
trees and had
fun in the art center.
