This article is a classroom or group project for students learning about trees.


Hello Teachers,

Your students will love reading and reasearching different trees and presenting tree artwork through the Arboretum project. The students will study trees together as a group, and then study on their own one specific tree. They will be making a small book about their tree listing its information.

They will be directed to collect tree bark , cones, flowers, nuts, and leaf specimens and to make a large drawing of their tree. Students can write reports or poetry about the trees.

The class will host an arboretum in their classroom where guests can tour the tree displays and look at the student's work. This is a hands-on tree study project that will work well in the classroom or for groups of homeschool students.

Kids will enjoy not only the learning from books, but learning from observing trees in the area and preparing and presenting a unique program for classroom visitors and parents.
