My sixth grade students decided they wanted something that would allow them to remember that they had a huge part in making the Courtyard Classroom a reality. It began when these students were in my fifth grade classroom. So, I decided that planting a tree would be the perfect option. My sixth grade students are divided into two class periods, so we made sure each class period had their own tree to plant. Here is my 5th period class planting there Ornamental Cherry Tree.
