Walking About Trees

"The Tree Lady" helped us continue our life cycle learning and introduce our new unit of study, trees! Kindergarten roamed the Green Space looking at specimens of conifer and deciduous types.
We noticed that fall has already begun to "drop the leaves 'cause trees are going to sleep". We learned a new word as well 'dormant' is a vocabulary word to test on your kindergartner!


Following the leader we get closer and closer to the next tree type.

Students get the chance to listen,

then learn while checking the trees out for themselves. The kindergartners feel the difference between cedar and oak bark, with a little time left to investigate the non-native maples on our way back to the classroom.
