On September 29th, the 3-5 grade class went behind the school for a field trip. We completed The Circle Of Life, which is where you put a piece of string around some plants and tally up all of the plants you see.The different groups tallied up all of the different kinds of plants we saw. The reason we did it was so that we can learn more about plants, since it is one of our topics for our year long project. We learned that the most popular plant behind the school is strawberry plants.
One of the groups found metal tags on most of the willows behind the school. After the field trip we wondered why there were tags on the willows. So at the Open House at the school, Ms. Jessie asked Tania Lewis who we could contact and she said Kevin White. He is a scientist for the Department of Fish and Game. A few days later we got an email from him saying that the tags were used to mark individual willow plants. They used the tags to document how moose browsing affects their growth patterns and production.
Please give comments and questions, because we love to answer them.
