PK 4.3 - Weekly Newsletter
Dear families,
Our class began exploring our new study unit: Trees! We were observing and comparing trees during a site visit we had around campus. It was so much fun to start seeking for similarities and differences among the trees they have observed and they come to notice specific attributes and are learning to identify some parts of the trees like leaves and trunks.
Next week, we will learn about their characteristics and how they are different depending on where they are; paying close attention to the ones in our community. We hope that this study will help children explore and appreciate nature. As we study trees, we will use literacy, math, and technology to explore the topic in depth. We will also learn important social studies and scientific concepts through first-hand investigations.
If you are able to take a "tree walk" with your child, we would appreciate your help in collecting tree parts to investigate. If you can, please take a bag to a tree area and collect things that have fallen, such as leaves, bark, twigs, branches, etc. We need your help to enrich the children's learning! If you work with trees, or know about trees please let us know!
