Today we made oraments for a tree that we are going to put in the Berkshire Musuem.Yesterday we made ornaments for the tree and Mrs. Neet's class made signs for the AT.
I made a first aid kit with Trevor and then two 5th graders put them in plastic ornament holders. Phoebe and Charlotte made some jackets to represent to bring clothes while you are hiking and to keep warm. Justin and Mikel made little mapa of the AT and put them in the plastic ornaments. Keenan and Justin took off tags to the little commpasses to hang on the tree. Fifth grade girls put H2O on one side of the little bottles and on the other side they wrote AT. We made a rock out of a bowl and we put aluminum foil over the bowl to make it look like a rock. Then we will put a sign for Springer Mountain on the rock. The starting point of the AT is Springer mountain in Georgia. Fifth graders made a sign that says Mt Khatadin, which is where the trail ends in Maine.
All of the ornaments are designed after the things you need to bring with you to be safe while hiking. We are also putting our invasive species postcards on the tree. They are being printed at Quick Print in Great Barrington.
Come see our tree at the Festival of Trees starting Nove. 24th and running through January 2, 2014.
Happy Holidays Everyone!!
