Description
This tree observation journal is for a classroom year-long observation of a tree. This meets the science inquiry standard of observing and asking questions about the natural environment.
Included in the journal:
* A cover page
* A journal page for each month. Included are three types of pages. One page has the month and a sentence starter in dotted print. The second type has only the month in dotted print. The last type has no dotted print-the student will write everything independently. This allows for differentiation and a gradual release of responsibility.
This is a great project to include in student portfolios. My students love to look back and see the progress they made as writers…and scientists!

This is a very helpful resource for our tree study unit.
My students found this resource very engaging and it was a great addition to our curriculum.
An excellent resource to use for our unit on trees. It provided a nice variety.
Students really loved these activities. Thank you for all your work.
I love this resource! I've used it as an introduction to science journals as well as part of learning about season and the life of a tree. I highly recommend
We loved observing trees with this
love it
My students loved using this resource. It provided them with an extra chance to get outside, too. This year, I've been remote, but am heading back soon. I plan to do an amended version as we complete the year so we can have this cool activity, but also provide a mask break!
