 Fall Student Artwork

 

        We observed our fall tree. The tree's bark was bumpy. It was dark brown. The leaves were green, yellow, brown, and orange. Our tree's leaves were oval with points on the ends. There were 14 branches. It was full of beautiful leaves. A few leaves have fallen off. The branches are skinny. It was a medium tree. We had a fun time observing our tree.

     We observed our fall tree. There were a couple of colors. There was a lot of green, a little of yellow and orange. The tree was filled with leaves. Also, the tree was skinny and tall. My favorite part about the tree was the bark because it was hard but bumpy. It kept going up and down. But, I still like everything about the tree.

Our Spring Tree


 

     We observed our spring tree on April 30th, 2008. I saw yellow dandelions around the tree. It had a bumpy trunk. The tree smelled like pollen. Our tree had little leaves on the branches. Around the tree there were clover growing. The branches were smooth. It was little. There were dead leaves around it. I had a fun time observing our spring tree.

     I have observed my spring tree. It has grown many more beautiful leaves than winter. The trunk is very hard and bumpy. The branches were smooth and tough. It has grown wonderful, pretty, special flowers on its branches. Our spring tree has lots and lots and lots of buds. It hope our tree will grow big and strong and will be here for a long time!!!!

Written and Illustrated by Josh

     It smelled like pollen and the leaves have changed to when the bird left. I can't find it. I hope there all right. There is also holes. These is also green leaves. The ground was black and the rest was green. There is no flowers. It only had a few branches. It was not that tall at all. This tree is good to observe.

The leaves had itty bitty white flowers on them. The flowers smell very good to. The tree trunk was skinny and bumpy. It was a little cold too. I hope our tree grows a lot more.
