Over the last few weeks the children have been very interested in nature. What better time to talk about trees and all that they have to offer! We began by brainstorming all of our ideas on how trees help us and the various ways in which trees can be used. A picture walk of the story The Giving Tree followed and we added to our list by just having been close observers of each page.
After actually sharing the heartwarming story with the children, we discovered yet other things to add to our list with some BIG IDEAS that could be summed up with one word. Some students were pretty surprised as they realized how useful trees can be and how they really do give and give and give just like the story.
