This week in class we learned about trees. We looked at pictures of different kinds of trees with different kinds of leaves. We talked about the life cycle of a tree and kinds of seeds that trees have. We did an apple tree activity where the kids cut and pasted how a seed grows into a tree and produces apples after it is grown. We talked about parts of a tree- roots, trunk, branches, leaves, and how the sap helps to spread nutrients inside the tree. We read a book that touched on many aspects of a tree and showed how a tree changes with each season. The book also talked about how trees have different kinds of bark, some smooth, some rough, some bumpy, etc.
Challenge: Teacher Jennifer challenged each of the kids to go for a walk, bring a paper and crayon, and make a rubbing of bark on a tree. If the rubbing is brought back to our next class on the 23rd (next week the 16th is the field trip), the kids will be able to get a special prize. Please help your children complete this activity. Thanks!
