First Period  Point to each type of tree in the photographs and tell the student its name. “This is a Maple. This is a White Oak. This is a Poplar.”  Allow the student to examine the leaves of each tree and ask them to share their thoughts on the leaves and their differences.

Second Period  Give the student the labels and allow them to place the labels with the corresponding tree.  If the student does not point to the proper parts of the flower, allow them to continue exploring the flower, smile at them, and end the lesson when appropriate. The lesson may be repeated at another time if the child shows interest. 

Third Period  Ask the student, “What type of tree is this?” and point to one of the trees. Continue with each tree.  If the child does not respond with the right answer, smile, and end the activity when they are ready to move on.
