Our Tree Named HAPPY! :)

We will be studying trees throughout the year in Science. 

We have read many great fiction and non-fiction tree books, including this one...

We decided we needed a tree like Steve...

We walked around the school grounds until we found "our tree". The students all agreed that this tree would be a great one to observe throughout the year, learn about, read under, and make special memories with ... just like Steve.

The students decided to name our tree Happy! :):):)

 We will draw our tree throughout the year in our science notebooks.

We also did bark rubbings ...

and drew the tree again, learned about the different parts and labeled them. 

Looking forward to learning more about happy! :)

Studying Trees

We have been becoming tree experts in Science this year! 

We read many great tree books...

We also used our schema from this lesson to observe trees around our school. 

We found a special tree to observe how it changes throughout each season. 

We recorded our observations and leaf and bark rubbings in our science notebooks. 

We also created these beautiful seasonal trees. 

This week {if weather permits!} we will bundle up and observe our tree in winter. 
Brrrr!
