Liberty Goes on a Field Trip to Airlie Gardens with Mrs. Tobin's 3rd Grade Class

We are on the bus to Airlie Gardens for a field trip. We will see the big oak tree and learn a lot about soil. There are lots of trees. One is the Sassafras. It makes root beer. The Dogwood is our state flower and the Pine tree is our state tree. Sap comes from Pine trees. It is sticky and makes a lot of stuff. Matt, our guide, found a Ring Necked snake. We are also looking at different types of soil; clay, sand and humus. We get to count how old the trees are by counting the rings. The tree parts are called tree cookies. You count the years by counting only one color ring.
