Kindergarten Goes Outside!

We have been learning how the different parts of the tree helps it grow and survive!  Now it's time to go to Lorianne's Garden in the Pre-K school yard and look closely at a lovely cherry tree.  What critters will we find living on the tree? What do they leaves look like?  What will it look like the next time we go out and visit the tree?

When we looked closely at the tree, we found ants!

Anything on the sign?

What are those bumps on the bark?

Last week, most of the leaves were green!

I found evidence of something eating the leaf!

The bark is smooth and rough!

Are there worms at the roots?

An ant!

Looking for critters!

A baby millipede.

Worms!

Something ate this leaf!

The bark is so rough and bumpy.

A soft, smooth, yellow fall leaf!

The leaves have yellow and orange in them now and are starting to fall off the tree!
