Inquiring Minds:
This post, written by Mrs. Myers' really sparked my interest about trees, and the process of recycling in particular recycling paper. She not only read them books about the process of trees to paper, but as a class they also watched videos on the process of tree cutting to paper in the classroom.
This photo is from Mrs. Myers Blog showing the students watching the video on how paper is made.

This was one of the blogs that inspired me to do further investigation on the topic, as well as create a lesson on how it would be incorporated into my own classroom, with not only concentrating on trees and the process of paper but also on nature and how it in our everyday lives.
I went on to further explore blogs on nature and paper making, and Jocelyn Schmidts blog on Environmental Inquiry caught my attention to help me explain the importance of nature to my students. (http://ljpskindergartenteam.blogspot.ca/2012/06/environmental-inquiry-in-action-our.html)
