Dear Yellow Room Families, 

This week, we continued our unit on trees. Some vocabulary words we have been learning are: tree, branch, roots, trunk, seeds, and circumference. We will continue to review all of these words. We went to the playground and measured the circumference of the different trees there. This week, students took a vote on which type of tree they would like to make and they voted for a pine tree! We also celebrated two birthdays in our class! This Friday, Mr. Patrick came to visit and we had a wonderful time singing along to his music! We had a great week. Next week, we will continue our unit on trees. 

The focus question for next week is: How do trees grow and change? What grows and lives in trees?

The daily questions are: 

Monday: How tall were you when you were a baby? 

On this day, we will use the baby pictures brought in to see how tall each student was when they were a baby. We will also begin working on our classroom pine tree. We will read “Growing Trees.”

Tuesday: How do water and food help us grow?

On this day, we will discuss how water and food help us grow. We will also relate this back to trees by asking how water and food help trees grow. We will read “The Mitten.”

Wednesday: No school

 Thursday: What questions do you have for the gardener?

On this day, we will watch a gardening video and discuss what new things we learned about plants and trees. We will read “Growing Trees.”

Friday: What do you see in these photos? (birds, reptiles, insects)

On this day, we will discuss more about what we learned this week. We will also continue to make our class tree. We will read “Who Lives in Trees?”
