Trees Through the Seasons

Buds, leaves, colors, and bare branches.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 25

Watch one tree all year! In spring, it grows buds, blossoms, and new little leaves.
In summer, it's full of big green leaves. Great shade!
In fall, the leaves turn orange, red, and yellow, and they fall to the ground.
In winter, the branches are bare. Then in spring, the leaves grow back! The same pattern happens every year.
Some trees, like pine trees, stay green all year. Look for both kinds near your home!
