During or tree celebration, we read A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry.  We then used our oil pastels to draw our own trees, in the style of the book.

Sophie's favorite kind of tree is a tree with a swing.
One of our favorite tree songs is from Sing a Song of Seasons by Mary Thienes Schunemann.  It goes like this...  It is the perfect song to sing and move to.

"This is my trunk, I'm a tall, tall tree.  In the springtime the blossoms bloom on me.  They open.  They open.

This is my trunk, I'm a tall, tall tree.  In the summer the breezes blow through me.  I bend.  I bend.

This is my trunk, I'm a tall, tall tree.  In the autumn the apples grow on me.  They drop.  They drop.

This is my trunk, I'm a tall, tall tree.  In the winter the snowflakes fall on me.  They fall.  They fall."
