I'M A TREE NATURE LIVE! VIRTUAL SESSION INFORMATION

We would like you to set up a test session with us before your first Nature LIVE! session so we can test links, visual, and audio within your classroom.

I'm A Tree Program Overview

This program is a series of four sessions offered individually, designed for Kindergarteners to discover through the topic of trees and the animals that interact with them how the weather plays a part in their behaviors.  Also comparisons will be done so the kids will know that all trees have the same parts, but they are all different.  Not to mention the characteristics of them produce special gifts for us.
