Tree and Me Room: In the Fall- It all begins...
|
The Tree and Me Room has been a labour of love. Along the journey, we (teachers, husbands, children and so on) were digging up seedlings in our gardens, contacting a tree nursery supplier (Thank you, Linneas Nurseries in Langley!) I knew long ago, asking at nurseries if they had any leftover seedlings and spreading the word to the community, we managed to collect 150 seedlings. They were brought to school and placed on the counter in the Tree Room. During the fall and into January, classes have been trickling in to allow students to choose their own seedling, one they will care for through the year, a tree to connect with, to compare and contrast with themselves. What connections will be built? What will be grown in us all?
