Arbor Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being a Nebraskan, I'm very proud that Arbor Day originated in Nebraska City.  Since today is Arbor Day, I wanted to share this flannel board I created using wooden shapes from the craft store and paper tree décor sheets from the dollar store.  I found the trees and brainstormed until I figured out how I could use them.

 

 

WHAT'S IN THE TREE?

 

Red bird, red bird,

What do you see

Hidden high up

In the tree?

 

 

Red bird, red bird,

Look with me

There a __________

In the tree.

 

 

We talked about how footballs, soccer balls (or a helicopter) could end up in a tree.  I thought it might be fun to find things that DON'T belong there as well.  I may also do a set with pictures behind the trees of nests, birds, and fruit.  On group of kids kept guessing apples each time.
