Group Lesson: Treemendous Trees! Read a book about trees and discuss the many, many uses of trees! Have a table with items that we get from trees: toys, crayons, pencils, paper, furniture, houses, baseball bats, airplane parts, matches, popsicle sticks, spoons, picture frames, chewing gum, foods, etc. Discuss whether or not trees are alive. Ask some divergent questions such as, "If we did not have trees, I wonder what we would build our houses with," or "where would the squirrels and birds play and live," or what if tree bark was blue instead of brown."
Lunch/Rest: Read two books while children relax, listen and enjoy!
Gross Motor/Phys.Ed: 1. Outdoor play if weather permits. We have kind of gotten into a routine where, when we play outdoors, the children want me to chase them and try to catch them. When our them of the week changes, I become whatever matches our theme and give chase! I have been a Dinosaur for letter D, a Gorilla for letter G, and a Horse for letter H thus far. Maybe for letter I Iguana might be appropriate! For the letter J, it is the perfect time to become the Giant in Jack and the Beanstalk and give chase! For letter K, I could be a King and give chase! Aerobics inside: I will put on some fun music and show the children some movements they can do for exercise: kicks, jumping jacks, side to sides, knee raises, hamstring curls--this is a little introduction to aerobics!

Group Lesson: Addition and Subtraction with Leaves. Draw a tree on white board. Have wind blow and leaves fall off tree. Children practice counting the leaves that fall (get erased). Say "This tree has five leaves. The wind blows hard and blows down 1 leaf (erase one leaf from the five that you drew originally on the tree). How many leaves are left on the tree?" Continue in this manner. Leaves that increase in amount (leaves that get added to the ground after "falling" also get counted. Say "There are 3 leaves that have fallen to the ground. Oh, the wind is blowing and blew one more leaf to the ground. Now how many leaves are on the ground?"

Group Lesson: Clothesline: Wooden clothespins come from trees! Use dominoes to allow counting practice for children. Each child takes a turn choosing a domino. They then add the numbers on their domino together to see what it adds up to; then they take the matching amount of clothespins and pin them to the clothesline. Letter Practice: Lay the letters of the alphabet, both uppercase and lower case out on a table. Children will be instructed as to what letter to find from a the letters. They can then hang their letter on the clothesline. The children should then work together to put the alphabet in the right order on the clothesline once all of the letters have been chosen and hung up.

Addendum: I also have a part of a tree stump with the rings. I will explain to the children how the tree's age is determined by the number of rings it has. I also have crayons made to look like bark, which the children can use.
