Take-home trees

Back in spring, students in preprimary room 101 didn't want to compost all the baby maple trees that had seeded themselves around the garden. So they dug up the seedlings and planted them together in one big pot. 

Six months have passed and those tiny trees are starting to grow up. So today 101 students dug and potted them up. Every kid will go home with one Norway maple (Acer platanoides), a common street tree. Maybe one or two will live to maturity.
