ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION

In celebration of Arbor Day, we met at a park with a lot of desert trees. First, one parent told the children a story where they participated by becoming trees themselves. Next, the children picked trees to 'be their friends'. They used all theirsenses to appreciate their trees. They listened, smelled, made bark rubbingsand drew pictures of their trees. Then we all gathered in a circle for thechildren to share their pictures with each other and to name something forwhich they are thankful to the trees.
