Evergreen Study

We spent time learning about evergreen trees for the past week.
We learned that there are many different varieties of evergreens, 
and the reason they got that name is because 
the needles stay green all year round.
We created some new sensory bottles using 
evergreens and shiny glitter. 

This is a simple project you can do at home.

Next, we each painted our own evergreen tree at the easel.


It was fun painting the pointy needles.


 We thought it would be fun to assemble our own evergreen tree for the classroom. These little engineers will take on any challenge:)

First, we sorted the branches according to length.

Next, starting with the longest branches, we figured out 
how to get the end into the little hole. 

The tricky part was wiggly it down just right until we heard a click!

We quickly learned that working together made the job easier.

 Isn't collaboration great?!

 It looked a little strange when we were finished and then someone said: 'We have to fluff it up!'

We are excited to have our own little evergreen in 

our classroom and added a few lights to make it twinkle.

Before stringing the lights on the tree, we stretched them 
across BOTH our classrooms!!

Ta-Daaaaaaa!
