As we begun our science unit on trees last week we welcomed a special visitor. "The Tree Lady" walked us through our campus pointing out specific attributes about the trees we love.
We even introduced her to "Fluffy Sweet Gum" our adopted tree outside our classroom. We learned why trees change the colors of their leaves and let them fall.
We learned why some trees die and why trees sometimes choose to grow leaves on only one side of their trunk.
Later in the week we went for another tree walk where we collected fallen leaves in order to graph their characteristics. Can you guess how we categorized them?
As we continue with our study of trees we will learn basic anatomy, function and type. We will also get the chance create various art pieces from their shed leaves.
