This Week’s Adventures: Trees are irrestistible this time of year! We spent plenty of time under shady canopies discovering the beauty and power of trees.

Favorite Activities: We loved making our tree ring paintings and writing letter Tt in our nature alphabet book! We made twig “t’s” along the trail and took measurements of trees along the trail. We loved meeting the ‘possum and learning all about how she climbs in trees and eats tree fruits. We danced with twig ribbon wands and figured out how many friends it takes to hug all the way around it. We learned about what trees do for people and all about the parts of a tree. We can’t get enough of trees!

Next’s Week’s Theme: Blankets of Leaves (letter “Ll”)

Try this at home: Identify 3 trees near your home. Use an online tree guide like this one provided by the Arbor Day Foundation.
