What are the Leafy Border Strips?
⌄
Two pages with five strips each, ten strips in all. Each strip shows a repeating row of leaves, such as oak, maple, ginkgo and fern, in bright greens on a soft background.
Can I use the Leafy Border Strips at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 5th Grade Arbor Day resources are there?
⌄
9 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 20 Arbor Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Arbor Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Arbor Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 5-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Arbor Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
