Traveling around the world


We continue to "travel" around the world in our classroom. This week we had the opportunity to learn more about Africa as we received two postcards from my sister who traveled there twice. She told us about the safaris and wild-life of Tanzania, a country on the African east coast. She also wrote us a post-card from South Africa, where she visited both Johannesburg and Cape Town. The postcard showed how farmers grow trees in rows in vineyards, and this reminded us of the Red Clover book, Wangari's Trees of Peace written by Wangari Maathari, who founded the Green Belt Movement (click here to view our textnical responses.
Why is it beneficial to grow trees in rows?
