My Tree Book {Freebie}
This is such a fun Fall activity that I do each year with my students. We go on a “tree walk” and collect different parts of a tree. The first four pages are folded back to create pockets so kids can collect leaves, acorns, twigs and bark. The remainder of the book is for students to illustrate and write about trees. It is the perfect way to wrap a study about trees!
Enjoy!
