Our Tree (Science)

Near the beginning of the year, we studied the Daily and Seasonal Changes that occur throughout the year. While learning about the different things that happen as our Earth rotates on its axis, and around the sun, we picked a tree out in our yard to investigate throughout the year. Unfortunately, we didn't get to do one final measurement, but I thought I would write one last blog post so everyone could have the chance to see how the tree changed in one place! (I think you're also going to see how much you all grew this year too!) 

 Back when we first picked our tree - October 12, 2021:

October 19, 2021: we went back and we measured the tree. Do you remember how we measured the tree? We were already noticing some leaves were falling and changing colour a little.

November 2, 2021: we noticed the leaves were thinning out quite a bit and had all changed colour!

January 19, 2022 - our tree hadn't had a visit in quite some time! It was winter, and all the leaves were gone and we could see all of the branches.

Mrs. Stemmler must have forgotten to take some pictures (oops!) - but this one is from May 10, 2022. The leaves are finally returning, and we had a nice time outside playing tag after we took this photo!

And Mrs. Stemmler took one today - June 24, 2022 (at recess, while you were all on your field trip!). Look at our tree now! It is GREEN! and the leaves are very full!!

I have greatly enjoyed teaching each and every single one of you this past year 

(and for a lot of you - in years past too!). 

You will all do amazing things in Grades 2 and 3 next year!
