Cross- Curriculum Connect

Trees are a vital component of our environment and our lives. They provide us with food, clean air,
medicine, wood and many other things. Birds live on trees. Some animals also live in the shade of
trees.

Life Skills and Values

Gandhiji once said, "There's enough for man's need but not his greed."
We must learn to give to nature as much as we receive from it. We must take care of trees, not just
use them for our need and cut them down in greed.
