Have you observed any changes or something new about your tree since last time?
How is your tree a part of it's surroundings?
What could impact your tree's growth?
How is your tree an important part of it's ecosystem?
How does your tree benefit the environment around it (other plants, soil, animals, water, etc.)?
How does your tree benefit the human community around it?
Are there new thoughts you have about your tree based on what we discussed in class?

Your tree seems to really help the enviroment! I feel bad for your tree and its sickness. I wonder what sickness it has.

My tree is apart of its surroundings because it is in the ground, and is apart of our front yard. My tree benifits other plants and animals by producing small seeds and leaves. My tree benifits the human community by giving us (people, humans) oxegen. My tree's leaves get clogged in our gutter, creating a problem.

I've noticed that my tree gives a lot of shade. It's really tall. It reaches to about the third floor of my house! There's a lot of moss growing on the sides of my tree. There's a piece of bark that fell off at the bottom either from my dogs or another animal. My tree is shaped in a really weird way. It looks like it shaped from side to side instead of being just straight.

1. In my observations I have seen that my tree has been changing because it has had snow on it and has been starting to have more animals being active in it.
2. My tree is a part of the surroundings because it gives privacy to the people that live around it and shade.
3. Something that could impact my trees growth is if the roots start to suffocate the tree by rapping around it. I could measure the growth of the tree by yards or feet.
4. My tree is very important to the ecosystem. It is home to many animals including hawk.
5. My tree benefits the environment around it by cleaning the air for the animals and us. It also brings shade.
6.The tree gives shade and privacy to the house next to us.
7. Yes I think that my tree is very healthy because when ever we see a root start to rap around it someone comes and cuts it.
