Yesterday I read the children one of my favorite books, "Once There was a Tree" by Natalia Romanova. It tells the story of an oak tree that grows old, is chopped down, and becomes home to many different animals and creatures simultaneously. Eventually the stump rots, withers away, and a new tree grows in it's place which is then home to many similar creatures. This book not only ties in with our life cycles studies, but also on our year-long exploration of communities in Social Studies. The tree is home to many, including a person in the story who uses it's shade.
The photos below are from another book we read on the life cycle of a tree. Ask your child to tell you what the upside down picture demonstrates!
