In honor of Tu Bshvat, Gan Aleph spent the day learning about trees and how important trees are in this world. The children spent some time planting lima beans which they will take home to nurture and watch grow. In the afternoon, the early childhood participated in a nature hunt using Yavneh's entire field and playground. We took clipboards and crayons, a camera and some bags to document and collect some of the amazing things we would find.
We used a checklist to help us find twigs, sticks, barks and even a nest! We couldn't believe it when we even found an owl sitting in one of the trees! When we finished our nature hunt we came back into the
early childhood hallway and enjoyed an amazing cupcake tree snack together as a family! What a better way to end an amazing celebration for the birthday of the trees.
