Trees

This week we have been observing the new trees that were planted just outside our classroom windows. Today the children went outside and sketched what they saw. They asked a lot of questions about the trees...

"Why is the tree bending?"
"Why is the leaf brown there?"
"How come it's so small?"

They also shared their observations and made predictions...

"I think the leaf will turn red."
"I think it's a baby leaf and a baby tree."
"The leaves are going to fall down soon."

We also talked about what they understood about trees.

Before we went outside, we read a story about how to be safe and caring outside with the plants, flowers and trees in our community.

Tomorrow we hope to take a walk over to the local park and compare our new little trees to the MUCH bigger trees.
