We recorded our thoughts and predictions on our message.
We also read the book, Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree and observed how Arnold adopted a tree to take care of and watch throughout the year.
Next, we decided to adopt our own tree just like Arnold did in the book. We took our I Wonder journals outside and sketched the two trees we decided to adopt.
After we returned to the classroom, we illustrated our class tree to show what the leaves look like in the summer.
The kids had such a great time learning about trees in the summer. I am excited to continue comparing our trees throughout the other seasons.
*As we were on our wonder walk, we discovered a really cool feather. We are so excited to begin researching tomorrow to determine what bird our feather is from! If you have any ideas, please share!*
Emary Kate researched to find out what bird this feather came from. Her prediction was a duck. However, after researching and looking at a lot of pictures of different feathers, we think this feather belongs to a Great Horned Owl. They live all over the United States and like to spend their time in wooded areas. We found a wonder on Wonderopolis about owls... http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/who-is-the-wisest-bird/

ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed joining you all on your Wonder Walk today! Thank you for inviting us to come along! You have a wonderful group of curious, respectful "All Stars!"
ReplyDeleteWow! A few predictions we had in our classroom was a duck, an eagle, and a goose. After looking at lots of pictures of different feathers we realized that we completely agree with your prediction! We think our feather came from a Great Horned Owl! Wow! We really wish that we could see our new owl friend! Thank you for researching and sharing your findings with our class!
