We talked about the difference between a healthy tree and a dead tree, and shared our observations. Rob, the district arborist, even cut each student a \u201ctree cookie\u201d as a memento! We enjoyed watching them cut the trunk and branches into smaller pieces and get hauled away. All that\u2019s left of Tilily now is a hole and wood shavings. We had a mini \u201cFuneral\u201d for few moments upstairs where we said thank you to the tree for its air-cleaning, shade, branches and beauty.<\/div>\n<div>We then learned how to \u201cread\u201d our tree cookies and examined and identified the outer bark, phloem, cambium, sapwood, growth rings and heartwood. Lots of great discussions around seasons of growth and beetle damage too.<\/div>\n<div>Such a neat opportunity!<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-200 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree3.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-197 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/Tree.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/Tree.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/Tree-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-198 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-199 size-full alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree2.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/boydj\/files\/2020\/10\/tree2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we started our Adopt-a-tree program. \u00a0Each student chose and named a tree, followed by some observations and drawings. \u00a0Today we arrived at school to find one of the trees in front of the school was being cut down. \u00a0It was Conor\u2019s adopted tree named Tilily!
