We went on a tree hunt!

 Today after reading a nonfiction story about trees we learned how to draw a tree in our journals. We started with drawing a line across the bottom of the paper for the ground, drew a seed with roots shooting down into the soil. We then drew the tree trunk and branches out of rectangles! After adding leaves we made a sun so the tree can make food and the sky that reaches from the top of the picture all the way down to the ground. This was hard work!!!

After doing that we needed to go outside and walk around the building to count the number of tree trunks that we can touch. They only counted if we can touch their trunks. We ended up touching 20 trees!!! The pictures below are of us counting the trees and learning about leaves v.s. needles, why the trees need leaves, what happens in the winter time, we felt and observed the bark with various insects on it, and realized how important trees are for Earth and us! Enjoy the pictures!!!







We also got distracted by our little pumpkin patch in the back of the school. 

Some pumpkins are HUGE!!!!



Below are pictures of our journal work.
