Dear Families,
As you know, we have been studying trees. Last week we talked about what things you might find under a tree. We also talked about how some trees are small and some are big and why are they like that. We have spent a lot of time outdoors with the trees and talking about them.
What can you do at home?
You can help your child explore and appreciate nature by learning about trees.
Invite your child to talk about trees.Share stories about your favorite childhood memories involving trees and games that you might have played around them. Read Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax. Go on a nature walk to see who can find the biggest tree. Wonder aloud with your child to encourage his or her thinking about trees - “I wonder why leaves fall from trees”; “I wonder what makes trees so big.”
