Our Adopted Tree

We have decided to adopt a tree, so that we can chart the changes throughout the season.
First we walked around the property to find the perfect tree.  Morah asked them if they wanted a hidden tree or one that all can see.  Together they concluded that they wanted one in the front that everyone can see.  Hannah asked if we can use the purple polka dotted ribbon as a marker.  The children were fascinated when they realized how wide the bark was!!!!!  Chana: "From far it's skinny."

All the children helped mark the tree with the ribbon.

After, the children observed the tree for a while.

Morah Mimi: Do you think we'll see changes in the tree?
Unanimously: Yes!!
What type of changes will we see?
Hannah: The leaves will turn yellow.
Jordan: The leaves will turn blue.
Amanda: The leaves will turn purple.
Sammy: The leaves will turn red.
Chana: The leaves will turn gold.
Aiden: The leaves will turn brown!
Jordan: Oh...and the leaves will fall off the trees!!

Notice that they all wanted to be unique.

We are all so proud of our tree.  We check it our every day, and point it our to all visitors who we see at Chabad!!
Please show an interest and ask your children about it.
This is a year long project:)
