We talked last week about how trees change during each season. We sequenced these seasons during group time after reading A Tree is Nice. We discovered that a tree “sleeps” during the winter even though it may look dead without the leaves. We also discovered that all the rain in the spring brings small buds on a tree, which are the beginnings of the leaves. Summer trees are full of bright green leaves but they begin to change colors during the Fall and tumble off the branches. Some of the children in our Wednesday class had the opportunity to create their own seasonal tree using their arm as the trunk and fingers as the branches. We added details to the trees with our fingerprints whether it be fall foliage, white snow, small green buds, or a full green canopy. We are still working on these and our seasonal forest will continue to grow throughout the next week. Check them out!
