A Tree Study at School 9

Professor in Residence Simone Sandler recently completed this arts integration lesson at School 9. She writes:

"This is a second grade lesson after the students learned about the rain forest in different parts of the world.  I taught the students the parts of a tree and what trees need to survive (using Google Classroom)."
