Thanks to Mr. Nagano, from the Urban Garden Center in Pearl City, we were able to get two kou trees to plant at Alvah Scott. These trees will be taken care of by the 4th graders, with help from the wonderful custodians at Scott School. We measured the distance between each tree, making sure there will be enough room for them to thrive! We also measured the height of each tree, and counted the number of leaves. We will be taking new data each month, for the rest of the school year. This was the first set of data taken:
Planted on August 20, 2014:
Kou Tree #1: 26 inches tall, 16 leaves
Kou tree #2: 27 inches tall, 16 leaves
Planted 16 feet, 7 inches apart
Here are some pictures of this exciting day of planting and adding two more trees to help with the challenge from Nainoa Thompson, to plant ONE MILLION trees before the end of Hokule`a and Hikianalia's voyage around the world!
