Trees Are Alive!

Kindergarteners are doing the work of dendrologist through our spring learning expedition, TREES ARE ALIVE!

 We started off with a case study all about living and non-living.  We determined what all living things need using observation and researching using mentor text.  We then determined trees were living things.

As a crew, we traveled outside for some field work to closely observe trees, discuss our thoughts and ideas and record our findings.

We did the work of dendrologist by reflecting on how trees get water, food, air and grow and move.  What a great day to be outside and be in nature with trees.

We shared all this learning with each other by making a tree word wall to include our important vocabulary.
leaves, stomata, branches, roots, trunks, air, water, food, grow, move and soil
