Tree Structure

The children learned about a tree's structure and acted out the parts.  Ask your child what s/he understands about the heartwood, xylem, roots, leaves, phloem, cambium, and bark.  Each part had its own special line or sounds.  Tomorrow, the class will continue to learn about trees by working with the other fourth grade teachers throughout the day.  It should be excellent preparation for our visit to Jillson's Farm next Wednesday.
