TOWERING TREE

We went to visit the tree the Parson Capen ash tree that will be removed soon. This tree has inspired poetry and art. 4K wrote poems about trees and all they do for the environment. We also are creating our own trees from recycled materials in CLIC. 

While we were there we  measured the circumference in two ways. First we stood side by side to see how many of us could fit around it ---14 4K students fit around it. Then, we used tape measures to get a more accurate reading. We found out that it is approximately 14 and one-half feet around!
