Week 2

This week the students learned about the difference between opposite and alternate branches, and did some bark rubbings out in the schoolyard.

Group 1
Photographer: Victor
Reporter: Hamza

Today it was rainy and snowing.

A) Opposite: they're not a zig-zag
B) Alternate: it goes in a zig-zag

They are coloring a paper on the bark of the tree. Why? To identify the tree. We all did them except Victor because he is the photographer.

Somebody put a hole in the tree and maple syrup is coming out.


We had to use flash because it was dark. Everything is wet. We could see our breath.

We had a quiz for alternate and opposite.

The crocuses are blooming.

It is 30'F, snowy and rainy.

An alternate tree is in front of the rooms.

Big alternate tree in front of Room 2. Moss on the foot, lichen on the bark.

We found an acorn cap, I think it's from an oak tree.




A skinny alternate tree is next to Room 13.

It was rainy and chilly.

On the tree next to the back there is a print of Daniella's thumb.

On the tree there is a lot of moss.

The bark isn't smooth.

Tree 2: On the second tree it is way more smoother.

We are near the huge rocks.

Tree 3: The tree is drier and bumpier than the others.

We are near the big rock near the birch.

It has opposite buds.
