Our leader said it’s called a Dr. Seuss tree. The reason it's called a Dr. Seuss tree is because it looks silly like trees in Dr. Seuss books.

We also saw a couple tree forts.

I got the Dr. Seuss tree picture from...

As we explored the Arboretum, we used our iPads to take pictures of things that we were curious about or that captured our attention.

Back in the classroom, we looked through our photos and videos and selected some to write about.

Kids created their own posts using the Padlet app. To EDIT our writing, we worked together as a class and had conferences with Mr. Gundlach.

We are happy to be able to share our work with a wide audience. It would be great if you could leave us some COMMENTS below our posts. That will help us to continue learning, and will also let us know that people are reading our work!

  • What do our posts make you think of?
  • Do you have any QUESTIONS?
  • Do you have thoughts or experiences to share with us?
  • Have you ever been to the Arboretum? What do you do there?

(Note: Your comments will probably say "Anonymous," so please include your name.)

Thank you!!
