Trees Are Alive Learning Expedition

We are becoming dendrologist!  Our kindergarten crew has embarked on our next learning expedition, Trees Are Alive!


We started this expedition by going on field work outside to observe, record and ask the question "What makes something living or nonliving?"
   
While we were there we explored trees and enjoyed the outdoors.


We then began our research to answer the question "How do trees meet their needs?"  


Local experts came from HRCA Backcountry.  We learned so much from the hands on research from these experts.




After field work, researching using mentor texts and experts, we again ventured to the field to observe parts of a tree and how they help the tree survive.
 

  

We also began started thinking about what living things depend on trees to meet their needs.  We are having such a wonderful time doing the authentic work of a dendrologist.
