This Project Learning Tree activity combined my love of poetry with my love of trees!!! I loved being able to go outside on my own and write poetry about a tree! During this exercise, I wanted to observe a big tree, so I searched for my tree a little further than the rest of the class. I was so tempted to climb it and write my poem in the tree! This showed the class and myself that in our own classroom outside activities, we have to set parameters for our students or they might wander off like I did!
This isn't my original poem from class, but my original poem was about a maple tree. This poem is a true story about my maple tree at home. I traced the biggest leaf on my baby maple tree. It's only about 2 years old, and look how big its leaves have gotten!
I can't wait to do this activity in my future classroom. I loved the idea of shaping it like a tree or like the tree you observed, and it doesn't even have to rhyme.
THIS IS A PICTURE I TOOK FROM THE FERRIS WHEEL AT BONNAROO WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO TENNESSEE ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. I LOVE HOW IT SELFLESSLY PROVIDES SHADE FOR PEOPLE ON A VERY HOT DAY! <3 :)
