Activity of the Week: Identify Local Trees

This week, take the class outside to identify all of the different trees around your school or playground. You can have the students draw the leaves in nature journals, or you can ask for permission to pick some of the leaves to take inside. Have the students search through field guides to identify the leaves. You can also try leaf identification sites like this one, or a free mobile app such as LeafSnap.
