Week 10: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

 

The Giving Tree is a loving book about a boy and a tree. As the boy grows older, the two of them separated. But the boy keeps coming back to the tree. In the end the tree and the boy are happy together. I think many young children will enjoy this caring and poetic book.

Ask: What is the moral of this story?
How can you tell time is passing based on the pictures in the book?

Write: Write a continuation to The Giving Tree. Describe what happens to the boy and the tree, and include lots of detail.

Draw: Draw a picture of you and an inanimate object. Include color and background.
