The best thing about the tree and project.
Brittany: You were able to see changes in the tree. The best part of the project was being able to research and learn about the tree.
Katie: The best thing about adopt a tree was actually getting out of the classroom and seeing the tree instead of just doing research about them.
Antwon: The color of our tree and all the gumballs are amazing to see on our tree. We didn’t have to touch the tree because of the poison ivy.
