Today we are learning all about oak trees! We started by reading about the life cycle and looked through a beautiful book showing the seasonal changes. Then we practiced the letter O and numbers with our count & clip cards, completed a color sheet and a few circle & find worksheets, and also did some line work. For our art sesh we made little acorns out of clay and caps we found last week on our nature hike.

For our afternoon lesson we read some more about oak trees and also looked at a cool book that showed creatures up close. Then Elliot completed a fun dab & dot worksheet for the letter O and we reviewed the anatomy of a tree. That’s a wrap for our spring tree study!

This week we are studying trees during spring. I always enjoy this subject and since we have learned so much about trees already it’s been awesome seeing how much Elliot remembers. We started our lesson with a good book, practiced the letter T and numbers, a fun dot painting, and went over the anatomy of a tree. We also learned about dendrochronology, observed a tree in our backyard, and had an art sesh. Then after lunch for our mini lesson we read a beautiful story about a girl and her favorite tree, learned a little about fruit trees, and observed a twig from our cherry tree.
