The Tree in the Ancient Forest

Step 1: Complete the Animal tracks project from the last screen.

Step 2: Read the book: "The Tree in the Ancient Forest" written by Carol Reed-Jones, Illustrated by Christopher Canyon.

Step 3: Discuss the difference between the animals that Carol has in her book and and the animals that they matched on the color sheet. Go over their habitats which types of forest do each of them live in? What type of food do they eat? What do their homes look like?

Step 4: Prepare your students about the trees. Talk to them about the different types of trees in the book. How old they are. How to age a tree and how old is the worlds oldest tree. Take them outside on the playground or school grounds where the trees are and see if they know what kind of trees they are and if there are any stumps around try to age them.
