We read yesterday about trees from our Explore Spring book. In reading, we learned about the two types of trees, conifers and dedicuous. Ambrose picked out our tall pine tree as a conifer and sugar maples (having gone to see sugar tapped from them) as an example of a dedicuous tree. Further reading brought discussions of raking leaves (dedicuous), bark and what products come from trees (paper).
Armed with directions from the book, we decided to experiment on making our own paper. Ambrose announced to Damian as he walked in from work that we were going to make paper. Damian asked 'how are we going to do this?' Ambrose quickly responded, 'we are going to cut down a tree and make paper'. Well . . .you can see our finished product (and no trees were harmed in the making of the paper).
