Trees always bring out the kid in us. If there is a tree with low branches nearby and kids with time on their hands, at least one will be in the tree in just a matter of time, sitting on the low branches or stretching a bit to move higher for a better view. One of the things that has always captured the attention of most children is the idea of building a tree house!
From bark and roots to leaves and tree rings, children can find so much fascinating information to learn about trees that will keep them wanting to learn more. Since they are the biggest plants on the planet, kids are interested in trees—they are great swing holders, animal homes, shade makers, squirrel playgrounds, and kite catchers!
With the Download N Go™ unit studies, you are about to begin a new kind of learning experience. Each study is one week in length, having five daily lessons with lapbook components for each day. The name, Download N Go™, comes from the concept that these studies are ready to use as soon as you have downloaded them. No preparation or waiting time or other expensive resources are required. A few inexpensive items are needed for the lapbook—a simple file folder, a glue stick, safety scissors, brass brads, and crayons or markers. That’s it—simple, effective, and what a way to learn!
As you and your children set off on this Tremendous Trees adventure, get ready to learn all about trees—the life cycle, major parts, different types, and even dendrochronology! Join in the fun as we learn about trees from the smallest species to the giant redwoods, investigating both common and uncommon trees.
Did you know that the word “tree” is mentioned in the Bible 277 times? Trees were an important part of Creation, and continue to play a vital role in our lives today. So get ready for the adventure, and thanks for spending a week with us as we take off learning about trees around the world.
