Winnie the Pooh: Somebody's Treasure (about reusing items) Winnie the Pooh: Roo's Big Nature Day (about being bored then going outside and doing amazing fun things) Winnie the Pooh: Nature's True Colors (about enjoying the beauty of fall and then finding pollution in a stream and investigating where it comes from and cleaning it up) Winnie the Pooh: One Special Tree (about how everyone enjoys something from this large tree that is wilting because of no rain so the friends take care of it) We all know how kids books can be expensive! But these hardcover books are $5 each and support children in local communities and education and health initiatives.Thanks to Betsy in NY for this info.Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:53:19 GMTRachelhttp://connect.plt.org/forums/Topic4323056-5106-1.aspxThis book is awesome, and is giving me some good ideas about how I might want to incorporate tree info. into my course. Bernd Heinrich has a great narrative style and makes learning about trees so very interesting. His observations lead to more questions, and I want to go outdoors and observe first-hand what he has written about. I like doing long-term projects with my students, and observing change over time with quick trips outdoors is just the ticket to keeping kids interested in science and the natural world.Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:17:01 GMTtreehuggahaines
