3rd/4th grade students, TES Tree Stewards, really enjoyed hearing Tony Johnston
‘s picture book, Sequoia. The book is a poem written in third person narration, about Sequoia, a giant and ancient tree and how he lives through the year. A follow-up activity to the book had students look for life in the woods. Using local writer Elise Tillinghast’s article from Northern Woodlands’, March: Week Four, students searched for Thaw circles, Red-winged blackbirds, Forked fungus beetle larva, and other early signs of spring!
