Written by Mrs. Cameron read us a book and it was called The Lorax. After she read us the book we had to do a reader response to the book and it asked questions like What does it say about the environment? and What the book is about. We had to answer another question and the question was Why do the colors change troughout the book? After we did our reader response, we made truffula trees and we each got to make two trees. We also made one with a grade 4/5 student. They taught us how to do the finger knitting. There were three colors and they are purple, blue and rainbow. I made my first tree purple and rainbow and I made second tree blue and rainbow I also made one at home and it was pink and purple. After we made our trees Mrs Cameron took a picture of us and our truffula trees. I liked the activity because I like Dr. Seuss and I learned about a new form of art and working with fabric!
Here is a picture of me with my truffula tree:
This is a picture of my entire class holding their truffula trees!

Nice job Kaylyn. It was fun to do that project.
Hi Kaylyn
The Lorax is a great book. Last year some students I was working with recorded a Reader’s Theatre script based on the Lorax and they had great fun doing that. Your Truffula trees look fantastic. Can your trees stand up on their own or would you need to pin them to a board to display them?

I loved making truffle trees
