Gracie: I see branches in the puddle!

We continue to explore trees and discuss what they provide for us.

Morah Katie: What do trees give us?

Tori: Oxygen.

Kian: They gives us food.

Dena: Turns dirty air into clean air.

Gracie: A place for tree houses.

Aaron: Wood to build things.

Efraim: Umbrella for shade.

We used clay to sculpt our very own trees.

We painted them when the clay set.

We have a beautiful forest.

 With our fingers prepared and ready to explore, we went out on an expedition.

We made tree rubbings, 

We searched for twigs and leaves for a sensory table.

The children explored and described the tree treasures.

In celebration for Tu B'Shevat, we have begun to create this year's mitzvah tree. 

The children voted on a sweet peach as the fruit to represent their sweet mitzvahs.  

It is delightful to see the tree filling so quickly.
