SCIENCE/NATURE

TREE science

If you stood with your feet in the earth

Up to your ankles in grass

And your arms had leaves running over them

And every once in awhile one of your leafy fingers

Was nudged by a bird flying past,

If the skin that covers you from top to tip

Wasn’t skin at all, but bark

And you never moved your feet from their place

In the earth

But stood rooted in one spot come

Rain

Wind

Snow

Sleet

Thaw

Spring

Summer

Winter

Fall

Blight

Bug

Day

Dark

Then you would be me:

A tree.

Children will learn all about trees, and most of all will enJOY learning, as they romp through the woodlands, the ridge, and pondside, exploring, observing and discovering the many species of trees at Harmony Woods Farm.

The children will keep a Tree Journal with their observations and discoveries, artwork, poetry ( individual/group) and results of our activities and experiments.

They will observe and record the steadfast tree from the barren of winter with its buds apparent, to its flowering, and to the leafing out with its own unique leaves.

It is my hope that children will have an increased awareness of, and appreciation for trees, (and nature as a whole) and this experience will become a source of inspiration as they grow.

It is only with knowledge and personal experience that children can relate to and care deeply about trees, nature and our earth forever.
