Album Description
From the blooming of trees in my backyard to the cherry trees blossoming in Washington D.C., trees are found in so many places and in so many forms at the Library of Congress. I love the book on historic trees Nicholson, Katharine Stanley. Historic American trees. [New York, Frye publishing company, 1922] Image. https://www.loc.gov/item/22024036/.
Check out some of the interesting trees I found.
The song states “I'll not sing of flowers, flags or April Showers but I will sing of trees!” Arbor Day is Friday April 28. Take your class outside or discover the beauty of trees found in the Library of Congress collections. Why not find out each states tree for a fun project or just go out and read the book A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry. There are a vast number of lessons that you can do with the trees. I love trees and I know your students will too.
If you can add to this album, please do! Let's start a "tree"mendous post on trees.

'Anne Miranda reads the Caldecott Award winning book, A TREE IS NICE by Janice May Udry. Illustrated by Marc Simont. Ages 4-8. A read aloud book about nature and the love of trees. (?️CLICK SHOW MORE BELOW):
I got to meet Marc Simont, who won the Caldecott Gold Medal for his illustrations for A Tree is Nice, about 25 years ago in Madrid. I took my beloved weather-worn copy of the book for him to sign. The book was over 40 years old and had traveled with me from home to home since childhood. I almost cried when he held it in his hands. I still have the old book, which he dedicated to me, and a new copy I bought which he dedicated to my children. I hope you love this story as much as I do.

Most students will have had some interaction with syrup -- real maple or not. Using syrup as a means to explain the movement of nutrients and water up and down the tree trunk is very effective.
