Trees

We've been learning about the parts of trees and different kids of fruit trees this month with Mother Goose Time.

We learned about leaves, and after reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the kids made bead caterpillars to eat holes in their leaf.  

They also used their senses (not taste) to explore their leaf.  

The kids loved putting leaves on the parachute and shaking them off to watch them fall.

The kids learned how to count the rings on a tree trunk to determine it's age.

They loved making their own trees with a little creature to live inside.  Most of the kids wanted to play with them after they were done.

The kids have worked on sorting branches by size and measuring them.

They also colored their letter E book.

Throughout the month the kids work in their journals, they worked on creating the covers.

We made popcorn and the kids used it to paint cherry blossoms.  Some of them also glued the popcorn to their cherry tree pictures.

The kids worked on recognizing letters by playing a simple game during circle time.

We've also been working on the color red this month.
