Week 5
Welcome Back to Tree School!

Thank you for exploring the outdoors with your young ones!

This is the fifth of seven weekly emails packed with nature-based activities for your PreK-5th grader! They come from Project Learning Tree and other environmental education resources.

This week, we are discovering the reasons why we all need trees!

We recommend spending an hour or more every day with your children
in your backyard or in your local town or state park.

Did you miss last week's email? Visit the Tree School Archive for the previous Tree School activities.

Please continue to use social distancing.
Have fun and stay safe outdoors!

Get Outdoors Challenge: Pass the Plants!
Set up a backyard picnic with food that comes from trees! What part of the tree does each food come from - leaves, roots, bark, sap, fruit or seeds?
(Tener un picnic, comer alimentos que provienen de los arboles).

Check out this list for ideas (Lea esta lista para ideas).
