On Friday, Sept 21st, the Creative Arts and Sciences Committee brought Professor Olson to Lincoln-Eliot for a presentation to each of the third grade classes.  As the “Canopy Guy,” Eric put on his tree climbing gear and uses props and puppets to give a “tour” of the New England and Costa Rican treetops, starting with the trees on our school playground.

Key topics developed during this presentation include how trees make a living from soil, air, and light, how trees consist of both below ground and above ground parts, and how different trees carry their seeds far away with either winged or fleshy fruits.

This is one of several curriculum-based enrichment programs that our PTO funds. Thank you for your continued support of the Creative Arts & Sciences Committee!
