The fours made a list all about trees.
Trees give us food, like apples, pears, peaches, and mangoes.
We start with seeds
The rain and the sun make trees grow
Squirrels live in trees
Trees have roots, trunks,leaves and branches
Coconuts come from trees
Birds live in trees
They grow from the ground
Wood and paper come from trees
A forest has many trees
We read The Giving Tree and all agreed that the tree was a very special one.
The fours water-colored trees to celebrate the birthday of the trees. They are in the hall for all to see. They are all very different and special. The children said their trees were a sun tree, an appletree, a maple pear tree, a bending tree and a blossom tree. Have fun picking out which is which!
We have been singing many songs for Tu B'Shvat.The fours acted out some
Tu B'Shvat poems about trees. The children really enjoy performing for
their friends and we all take turns at being the audience.

One of the songs included the word "sow" and we discussed how words can sound the same but have different meanings, like for and four. We will continue to explore homonyms as we go along.
When going outside the fours are making observations about the winter
trees.

The fours drew faces on white styrofoam cups. Then we planted grass seed
for the hair. We will leave them in the sun and see if indeed our cups
will sprout green hair!

We celebrated Shabbat with Justin's mommy.
Shabbat Shalom!
