Arboretum


This fall our class went to the arboretum and we learned all about trees and different plants that the native people used. For example the Douglas fir tree, they used this tree to make many different things like clothes and they also used it to weave baskets. Another tree we learned about was the cedar tree, for example they used the bark to make medicine.  They also used it to make canoes because of the straight logs. In our group we walked past a big leaf maple tree. When we saw it, we decided to jump in and play with the giant leaves. After a while we decided to bury a fourth grader in the leaves. We buried him so deep we could not see him. We had a fun time there and hope to again soon.
