What is "Grow-a-Tree"?

A Fun, Hands-on, Environmental Education Experience Designed for students in Kindergarden to Grade Six

The Grow-A-Tree program is a unique, hands-on classroom activity that introduces Kindergarten to Grade Six students to important grade-appropriate topics in science, ecology, social and environmental studies. The program consists of two parts: During the hands on component, students have an opportunity to plant, germinate and grow their own tree seedling. The accompanying grade-appropriate workbook provides children with a wealth of activities and information, presented in a fun, "comic-book" format that is as fun as it is educational.

Upon enrolling in the program, each classroom receives a Grow-A-Tree kit consisting of:

teacher's handbook with comprehensive activity guide outlining where the activities can fit into standard curriculum categories, as well as ideas for extending each activity and assessment rubrics to help measure student achievement

student workbooks for each student

student planting kits for each student that includes: native tree seeds and a biodegradable planting carton

Curriculum Design and Validity

The "Grow-A-Tree" Project was developed in coordination with educational consultants to ensure the validity of the project's children's activities and assure their usefulness in the classroom. Further, the program was designed to integrate across several curriculum areas. (In particular, Canadian teachers will appreciate that the program meets the current standard curriculum guidelines.)
