First graders worked with twigs and branches...

Some made structures...

Others tried to change the wood...with sandpaper or rubbing two sticks together

First grade tree-huggers heading out to plant a service berry tree

They had to dig through an inch of snow!  The tree doesn't have any leaves.
But first graders know that deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall and are still alive.
At least we hope so!

Thanks to Johanna who picked up the tree on a Sunday.
