Arbor Day!

For Arbor Day, the Duck class planted a tree!

We found a small Maple tree growing in the prairie, and decided the Children's Park would make a better home for the tree.

So...we gathered our supplies.

We worked together to dig a hole in the ground.

Then, we carefully brought our young Maple tree over to the hole.

We had a discussion about which end should go into the ground.

Then, after planting it in the ground with the roots pointing down, we covered the tree with dirt.

We gave it a good drink of water.

We sang the tree a song (ABC's), wished it well, and went on our way.

Happy Arbor Day!
