Early this morning I challenged the girls to build a tree with blocks. They did a great job What if we work together and lay it flat so we can have branches? We actually left this “tree” out so we can add to it tomorrow. What does it still need?

Today we visited our tree in the front yard again. We found that the leaves had not changed much. We read a book about leaves changing and how the other leaves started treating it differently. Such great social stories you can bring in in no matter what your current topic is. We took time at […]
