Description
South Africa! The Baobab Tree - Lesson, No Prep Craft, & Writing Activity introduces students to the remarkable Baobab tree. The Baobab tree is found in the savannas of southern Africa and has acquired many nicknames over the years: The Tree of Life, The Monkey Bread Tree, The Upside-Down Tree, The Bottle Tree, and the Elephant of Plants. Each name tells a different story of this wonder tree! A writing reflection activity allows students to decide which nickname best describes the Baobab tree and why.
Step-by-step illustrated instructions will guide students as they will make their own 3D version of a Baobab tree.
South Africa! The Baobab Tree includes:
- The Many Names of the Baobab Tree Lesson, with image files that can be shown as you present the lesson

TESTIMONIALS ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
"In my nearly 30-year career in education, I have never seen children so engaged in their learning! International Travel Academy is truly a multi-disciplinary approach that enables children to explore the world in an unforgettable way. Students get a real sense of what it means to respect another country's heritage, beliefs and ways of living, thus making them more tolerant and internationally-minded. I highly recommend this program to educators and parents wishing to make learning come to life!"
– A Former Assistant Superintendent at Atlanta Public Schools
“(The five-day program) has given our school the unique opportunity to provide students with incredible experiences that align so well with our IB focus. Each spring with family and community support, our school essentially is transformed into our country of study for one full week. Teachers are easily able to follow the daily curriculum and activities provided, and the students truly enjoy this special week of instruction. From the art projects to festive food tastings, cultural dress, music, dance and traditions, the students spend this entire week engaged in new and exciting experiences of a new country. I would encourage all schools (IB, or not) to jump in and make a week like this happen for their students. It is incredibly gratifying to spend this week with kids as they come together to learn and share experiences like these across grade levels, school-wide. When we hear such rich discussion in classrooms and read their detailed writing about what they've learned as part of (the) week, it makes all the preparation, planning and expense totally worth it!! “
