First and second graders learned about how seeds are spread and can grow into plants or trees. We talked about the Y shape of their branches and learned about the tallest tree (General Sherman, a giant sequoia) and the oldest tree Methuselah, a bristlecone pine that is almost 5,000 years old! Next, they watercolor painted a tree trunk and branches, grass and sky. Students were invited to include a treehouse for fun! The following week the students stamp painted the leaves with small cut up sponges with yellow, orange and red tempera paint. Kindergartners stamp painted their own fall trees, using their arms to make the trunk.
