Unit 5: Wonders of Nature
Week 2: Trees
Hello, there. Welcome to Unit 5: Wonders of Nature and the big idea: What kinds of things can you find growing in nature? " We are entering into Week 2, and we are going to talk about trees! That's right, TREES! Here is our essential question:
HOW DO LIVING THINGS CHANGE AS THEY GROW?
We are going to focus on this question by responding to the Big Book of the week: A Grand Old Tree.
Then we are going find text evidence in the shared read, Ed and Ned.
Next, we are to look at the diagram of how apples grow. This will lead us into our research and inquiry about how a tree grows. Lastly, we will make connections by looking at a photo that shows rings, or circles, in a tree stump. Some trees grow one ring each year.
