Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel

Today, we started Mike Mulligan and the steam shovel. I probably shouldn't have with Frog and Toad still in the works, but Megan wanted to draw trees and I knew that Five in a Row discusses trees.  Basically, for aerial trees, they are like a ball and stick figure, but when they are close up you see the branches coming out from the main trunk. So, then we , using HomeArt Kindergarden, listened to the teacher talk about how to make trees.
