Pine cone trees
Posted by: meg #52063

The mini pine cone holiday trees do turn out very cute. We made them last year during a rotation party with preK/Ks and the kids loved making them. I tried to supply a good variety of "spangles" so the children could be creative...I got some tiny beaded garlands from WalMart that looked nice wrapped around the trees. Since our crafting time was fairly limited, I prepped the pinecones by dabbing the tips of the cones with green glitter glue and hot-gluing each cone to a milk jug cap. (For a deluxe version, glue them into mini terra cotta pots.)
After the trees were finished, I read "The Littlest Tree", by Janice Jasin (a story with a message-I love this book). Here's a couple of links with photos of some versions of this craft. I also saw it in the December issue of Family Fun.

Bugs and Trees
Posted by: NeeCee #167778

How about writing a piece about different kinds of bugs/insects. Or writing about different kinds of trees and flowers. You can print their piece on paper with cute floral, bug, or forest borders.
This link is for a lesson writing about bugs.

TREES
We see trees around us everywhere. There are so many trees that sometimes we forget how important they are and how they make our lives more enjoyable. People make things from trees. It can be fun to decorate trees. Trees also give us shade during the hot summer. Sometimes boys and girls have fun playing in them.

Write an expository paper explaining how trees make life more enjoyable. Be sure to give details about your ideas

Not all Dollar Trees are the same!
Posted by: lv2read #146107

I noticed that most of the PT members who relied to this post lived in the South. I wonder if the Dollar Trees in LA, NC, etc have a better selection than the Dollar Trees here in Southern CA. I have not had the same luck as others finding great stuff worth buying for a dollar. Granted I can always buy erasers, stickers, pencils, etc or other Treasure Chest items but not posters or 1" binders.

I will check out a couple of the local $Trees here and hope for the best. Perhaps it's my timing that's bad and not the store stock. Wish me luck because I'm off to the $ Tree.

prefix trees
Posted by: Rebecca #21017

I make prefix trees with my third graders. These trees are made of construction paper and placed on a wall. I choose three prefixes (un, re, dis) and label each tree. As students find words to put on the tree (on leaf cut outs) they write it on a leaf and have to tell the class what it means. You might even break up the class into three groups, letting each group find words for a particular prefix tree. My third graders enjoy this.

word problem "trees"
Posted by: bhardy #69941

Hi...here's how I thought to do this. Hope it helps....fun, huh.
Take 17 times 44.26 avg height = 752.42 total feet of trees.
Take 18 times 44.91 avg height = 808.38 total feet of trees.

You only want to know how many feet that extra tree (the one that made the 18th tree, don't you?) so
then subtract the 752.42 (17 tree total)from the 808.38 for 18 trees and that should give you the height of the 18th tree I think.
P.S. I added the height of the 18th tree back to the total of the 17 trees and the average did come out. Hope it is right. Good luck.

trees

well one time I made this really cool poster with my kids. it is still on our wall because there was a fight over who got to take it home, so I kept it. It was pretty simple, but we painted a huge tree trunk, then went outside gathering leaves (with all the incidental teaching that that involved!). When we came back in we painted one side of the leaves, and printed them onto our tree trunk. The kids loved the whole thing.
We also practiced turning all of our letter t's into trees. lots of fun.
What about family trees?

Trees
Posted by: S. WIndle #51309

Start of Year--Apples on trees
Fall--leaves on trees
Winter--snow on limbs with Woodstock as each child
Spring--flowers on trees
STUDENTS CHANGE AS SEASONS CHANGE
Pictures could be taken throughout the year and placed on the tree as the season changes.
A chart could be made for each student to show how they have changed during each season. The four pictures could be taken home at the end of the year along with four compositions telling of each students activities during each season.

similar activity - xmas trees
Posted by: Jade #97487

I did a similar activity last year where the students wrote persuasive paragraphs pretending they were xmas trees (all my students celebrated Christmas) and they had to persuade families to choose them as their christmas tree. It was so cute! I read a very cute story before hand about a little tiny xmas tree who wants a home, ( I totally forget the name, but could get it for you). Anyway, they were very cute and they made up great reasons like "I am very full with branches and will hold your ornaments nicely" or "I will fill your home w/ my wonderful pine scent".

Figs trees
Posted by: AnneGA #206913

I have three fig trees in my yard. You can eat them raw. I pick and eat them off the tree, rinse first of course. You can boil them. Cover them with water, add sugar, and boil them a few minutes, cool, put them into a jar and put in the frig. Don't over cook. You don't want them to fall apart. I'm not sure about the amount of sugar, maybe 1/2 cup to a quart of figs. Some people eat 3 or 4 cooked figs as a fruit for breakfast. If you haven't tried them, you should. Raw figs taste different than cooked or preserves.

I love Dollar Trees
Posted by: luvbeagles #209248

I will be going to Target & Walmart on Friday but I landed in two Dollar Trees today and Big Lots! Dollar Tree had lots of posters, spinners (for math/probability), bulletin board stuff, and magnetic containers that I use to put on my whiteboard to hold markers, pointers, etc. Just happened to stop by Big Lots to pick something up and they were putting out school supplies. They had dollar items: stickers, folders, teacher plan books, grade books, calendars, etc. It was great!!!! Happy shopping!
