Tuesday, April 28th

During circle time we talked about why trees are so important. We also talked about Arbor Day. In Texas it is celebrated on the last Friday in April.

We did the finger play, “Two Tall Trees.”

I read the children the poem, “The Sugarplum Tree.”

Our craft was to make our own sugar plum tree.

Our game was called “Squirrel in a Tree.” It is like duck, duck, goose but the children are squirrels in trees (chairs.) One child walks around with a nut (eraser). When that child gives the nut to another child, the second child tries to catch them before the first child gets back to the tree.
