March 12 is "Tree Planting Day" in China, or you might call it Chinese Arbor Day. Pictured above are students from two different classes, all of whom are or have been my students. (Aren't they precious?) The older students are actually planting saplings (with help) on the school grounds. The younger students are watering slightly older trees. All of them will get a sapling to take home, for their parents to help them plant "somewhere in their community".
I seem to remember doing some kind of planting activity when I was in preschool, but I don't remember the details, or if it was actually on (American) Arbor Day. Did you do anything to celebrate Arbor Day when you were this age?
Remember, in the U.S.A., National Arbor Day is on the last Friday in April, although in some states it may be observed on a different date according to the best planting schedule, which varies by region.
Happy planting!
