Arbor Day Walk

 Happy Friday! Today during our morning meeting we had a conversation about how today is a special day called National Arbor Day. Some of the class said they have heard of Arbor Day and some have never heard of it before. Our class wondered what Arbor Day was and why it was special. We talked about how Arbor Day is about planting and taking care off trees. Our class decided that we can take care of trees in our community by not picking off leaves and branches. 

One child also remembered that the Sycamore class planted a tree in the forest and we could check on it today. On our walk we looked at many different trees in the neighborhood and tried to figure out what type of tree they were. Some of the trees we found were dogwood, maple, and pine trees. We searched the neighborhood for a birch tree but we did not find one today. We will continue to use our eagle eyes on our walks to see what trees we can discover. Have a great weekend!
