Being Dramatic! 🎭
We took our enjoyment of Be A Tree one step further by bringing it to life! We used our bodies to match the story, became part of the story, and supported our classmates while they did the same. Basically, we were working on the drama curriculum but having too much fun to even notice!

The Learning Garden Theatre
Nothing brings a story to life like being a part of the story! We used our best dramatic skills and worked together to travel around the Learning Garden being entertained and being the entertainers!

Be A Tree! 🌳
This beautiful book of textured art and poetic words helped us learn how deeply connected we are to nature while helping us to understand the importance of trees in our ecosystem. Learning more about trees and our bodies brings the forest to life, sharing how our bodies mirror tree anatomy: our spines matching strong trunks while revealing the invisible, networks trees use to share food, signal danger, and nurse the sick.

Tree Exploration and Joy
We took our time enjoying this story with exploration breaks including:
- root exploration and learning
- bark feeling
- tree ring counting on the Learning Garden stumps
- tree art (coffee filters)
There is no end to the wonder and gifts of trees!

Some questions to ask your child:
- what can you learn from the rings inside a tree? (age of tree, how each season was)
- why is the ground between the Learning Garden and Kindie yard so bumpty? (tree roots)
- how do trees help keep soil in place (prevent e-ro-sion)?
- what other things did you learn about trees? (clean air, roots communicate, prevent erosion, block wind...)
