May – The Study of Trees!
For the next 2 weeks, students will learn about trees. As we investigate this topic, we will work together to find the answers to our theme questions. Some of the questions include: What food comes from trees? Who lives in trees? Who takes care of trees?
Some of the books we will be reading this week are:
• The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle
• Charlie Anderson by Barbara Abercrombie
• Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger
• Pablo's Tree by Pat Mora
• Henny Penny by Bonnie Dobkin
