Arbor Day

For Arbor Day, the 3-6^th grade teacher organized a day of planting trees. We planted several banana and plantain trees from seedlings. The plantain trees are already growing (a month and a half later). In addition, the teacher led the school in making a beautiful bulletin board. She drew the design with pencil and then the students took turns coloring in the design. The older students wrote poems about Arbor Day. I read a book about trees to the younger students and we discussed the importance of trees in our lives. Then each student drew a picture and wrote a sentence or two about trees.

Here is a pretty recent picture of all the students on Arbor Day. It is only missing four new students and one student who had missed class that day.
