Today during our science block, we had the most fun enjoying the warm spring weather while observing the beautifully blooming Cherry Blossom trees around our school.
We have recently read a book about Cherry Blossom Trees while studying about the seasons. We learned all about how there is a big Festival in Washington DC to celebrate and commiserate when Japan gifted the US with the Cherry Blossom Tree in 1912.
First we took our science journals outside with us to make live observations of the beautiful flowering trees.
Everyone loved being able to pick up the beautiful cherry blossoms and get an up close observation to record in their science journals.
It just doesn't get better than being able to hold one in their hands while observing!
My scientist were very hard at work making sure they recorded their observations perfectly.
Getting very up, close, and personal!
After making our observations outside, we went inside where we finger-painted the flowers on to a template of a tree.
Everyone loved adding their blossoms to their trees!
