Trees In Literature

Today we were allowed to work in a group and chose a book about trees to read. My group read this story called “A Tree Is Nice”. By Janice May Udry

the kids and trees were the main characters and the problem was there weren’t  enough trees but they need trees because trees protect us and give us a playground and air.  Since there weren’t enough trees the kids had planted there own trees because trees are what we need.

 

Save the trees

Today I learned the story of Smokey the bear he was a little bear cub when the biggest forest fire in the country had happened in 1950 all because one person just one person had threw a cigarette that wasn’t all the way burned out and started the fire, not to mention the fire had started in the SUMMER!! So all the wind the blew made the fire bigger and made it move more quickly. As soon as the commander in that had lived in the house near the forest saw the fire he quickly called his a men to go put it out but the fire was to strong they needed back up, more people had come to the scene till there was 24 men on the scene trying to but out the fire but then another big gust of wind blew. When the wind blew the fire got too big and the men were almost scorched but they claimed a rock and hid until the fire and smoke had stopped on its own. After they had…………SURVIVED, but the men then saw a small bear cub hanging on for his life on a tree bark , the bear cub was then picked up and taken to the vet and bandaged up he was treated and got better , he was then given the named Smokey…. Smokey the bear . He was then made famous and was in posters and on tv to show and raise awareness of stopping forest fires…… And that is the story of Smokey the bear. 

 

It is Important that we save the trees. Trees come in all shapes and sizes and if we keep harming the trees we might never see them. here are some fun facts about trees you probably didn tknow about i hope these make you want to save the trees

 

 

  • -planting trees can help reduce your energy cost! It has been proven that trees and shrubs can decrease your energy cost by 25 % !?!?!. 

 

 

 

  •   Trees have been to the moon!?!?! Moon trees” were grown from seeds taken to the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in early 1971. 

 

 

 

  •  Trees can help you find your way if you get lost in the woods.In northern temperate climates, moss will grow on the northern side of the tree trunk, where there is more shade. Also, a tree’s rings can help point you in the right direction too. 

 

 

 

  • More than half of all tree species exist in only one country.

 

There are 60,000 tree species in the world and many are threatened with extinction.

 

  • If a birdhouse is hung on a tree branch, it won’t move up the tree as the tree grows.This is because trees grow from the top. Specialized cells in the ends of the tree shoots form areas called meristems.

 

 

 

  •  Different parts of a tree grow at different times throughout the year.

 

Typically, most of the foliage growth happens in the spring, followed by trunk growth in the summer and root growth in the fall and winter

 

 

  •  Trees improve water quality.

 

As rain falls to the Earth, it is slowed and filtered by trees, helping it soak into the soil.

 

  •  Well-kept landscapes with trees increase property value.

 

Several recent nationwide tests  show that mature trees in a well-landscaped yard can increase the value of a house by seven to 19 percent.

 

  • Trees block noise by reducing sound waves.

 

They reduce noise through a phenomenon called sound attenuation

 

 

  • Trees are the longest living organisms on Earth, and never die of old age.

 

California holds the record for the oldest living trees. Some of the state’s bristlecone pines and giant sequoias are 4,000-5,000 years old

Wish Tree Blog Post

I have adopted a tree and its very beautiful, It has long branches but its bark isn’t solid. It has strands that connect to the branches and it looks like this:

  

It’s very pretty though. Also we have been reading this book called the Wishtree and I thought it was interesting how trees got their names and their meaning, so here is my name and meaning and how I got it.  First my name is Chaniya. It’s an alternate spelling of Hania wich is a Hebrew/Arabic word that means “ a place to rest or happy” 

How I got my name is a funny story actually. My name was going to be Shaniya but my mom and dad wanted it to be unique, so they got my grandma’s help. My grandma’s name is spelled with a C instead of an S and my mom’s name is spelled with a C instead of a K. My other grandma’s name is spelled with a C instead of a K to so my mom and my dad and my grandmas decided to change the spelling of my name and spell it with a C instead of an S. That’s how I got my name. Speaking of names I have named my tree and the animal oh here is a picture of my animal.

 

The animal’s name is SQUeryl and the tree’s name is ABARKia. While we were reading the Wishtree we learned about optimistic and pessimistic people. An optimistic person always thinks on the bright side and believes things will get better and a pessimistic person believes that nothing will ever get better and always thinks of the worst things that could happen in a situation . I think I am a little bit of both since it all depends on the situation I am in , like if I studied for a test and I knew about it ahead of time then i will be optimistic and believe I will pass, but if I didn’t know about the test and missed my study session, then I would be pessimistic and think that I am not going to do good on the test. I think I am both all depending on the situation I am in. 

 

Tree Book

My Tree Book

This project took a month to complete form screen printing painting , collecting leaves , cutting covers, collaging , adding envelopes.  The process was fun even though it was a lot of work. I will tell you how I made it. First we screen printed our covers and cut them into the shape of a tree. Then we collected leaves outside and used these cool jelly plates with akua ink to create shapes on paper to collage with ! But something you guys don’t know is that I was remote for most of the time period but Ms. Gignoux created an awesome at home kit for remote students like me at the time to make our books out of! It was very helpful.

After collaging we then started on 3 different pieces of writing. The first one was called ‘Salute to my Roots”, the second one was called “Branches” , and then we wrote a poem called “When this is over”. Here’s a picture of each piece of writing.

It took us about a month to make these. Remember the person I had mentioned earlier, Ms. Gignoux? She was the lead for this whole project. She is an artist and helped us with this. Here is a link to her website  https://gignouxart.com/.
