First Grade Tree Olympics

6/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Hey!
Tomorrow, 
after father's day 

and the summer solstice, 

is the 1st grade tree Olympics.

This particular end-event developed over the past 10 years. 

It is not really a competition. 

It is a collaboration that features "huddles",

kids checking in with each other to find consensus on each of the clues given about tree ID.

If you are free, you should come and witness. 


Room 205: 11:30

Room 111, 12:15

Room 211: 1:15

If the kids get  above 92% correct answers, 
they "win". 

Afterwards they get their compiled Field guides to The Trees of Waters School, 
and their squirrel-ravaged tree seedlings.

Join us!
​Mr. Leki
