Arbor Day in its various forms is now recognised in more than fifty countries.
Planting Trees Day comes on March 12 every year. Do you know what can we do to help on the day?
In China, Planting Trees Day is on March 12. This special day began in 1979. On that day, people can plant many trees. And if we plant trees more, we must also take care of the trees by watering them until they grow up to be strong. In different countries,

The next day, it was sunny and sunny. Some of the students carry buckets, some carry saplings, and others with shovels. Under the guidance of our teacher, we came to an open space happily.
"Start planting trees! The teacher vowed. Some students dug pits, some students carefully put the saplings into the pit, then filled the soil back, and then the students brought small buckets to water the saplings. The students planted a small tree after the teacher. At last, the students had finished planting the trees, and some were sweating, and I was covered with mud... You look at me, I look at you, all laugh.
Ah! I'm sure we'll grow up quickly.

A green sapling was set up and stood upright like a soldier, with a satisfied smile on her face. Lili and Ming said to the small pine tree, "young saplings, grow up quickly, so that we can enjoy the cool and play games under your shade."
Planting trees is really a pleasure. I just finished the parent-child tree planting activity I said to myself.
Originally, our school organized students to participate in the family tree planting activities, I have always wanted to try planting trees, this time, of course, can not let the opportunity slip away. I was the first to sign up.
On that day, I walked into the 18 luohan forest park in daogang with great interest, and I had been dreaming of planting trees, but the reality was far away. Just when I could see the tree from a distance, I heard someone say, wow, this is so simple, even the pit is dug. I hurried to the place where the trees were planted, and picked two tall and strong ones. And there are small saplings with leaves. I don't know where to start because it was the first time the girl was in the sedan chair. It was the old spice of ginger. My mother put the bucket aside and filled the hole with a shovel. My mother shouted to me: help the seedlings steady. As soon as I heard, I finally had something to do, and I scrambled to help the tree. However, I am not willing to do such a small work, without saying a word, I will pick up a small spade and learn how to fill the hole. It's not nearly as fast as my mom, but it's not going to help. Finally, I filled the hole, and I quickly poured the water into the root of the tree, so that I could handle a small tree. I jumped to the right with excitement, and I nearly rolled down because of the slippery slope. Fortunately, my mother came here in a hurry, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
I was happy to repeat the five trees, and I was so happy that my clothes, hands and shoes were all dirty, and I ignored them.
This parent-child planting activity gives me the feeling and the experience is: this parent-child tree-planting activity is really one of three, and can enhance the mother and son, the father and son's affection, the friendship. Secondly, we can plant trees and make a contribution to our green guangzhou. And we can freshen up our dirty air and beautify our environment. Thirdly, we can cultivate our concept of labor and help us to cultivate the awareness of environmental protection.

On Arbor Day, particular attention is drawn to the part trees play in our lives. It's not just a day to plant trees and then forget the gesture for another twelve months. Planting a tree one day is no credit to us if, during the rest of the year, we neglect to care for it and those already growing. Our thought on Arbor Day should be an expression of enduring feeling, thought and action and not just one single, isolated flame of interest.
In schools and other community groups, this day can be celebrated in many different ways.
·By planting trees or shrubs in school grounds, along neighbouring streets or in civic parks.
·By 'adopting' a patch of bush, with the landowner's consent, and caring for it by removal of weeds, rubbish, etc, by preparing firebreaks and by fencing and making paths to reduce trampling.
·By presenting a play or mime about trees in the history of Australia.
·As a class activity or common interest group go on a visit to a bush area with a spokesperson to explain the characteristics of plant species and their niche in the natural environment.
·Collect some tree seeds, germinate them in a classroom, and plant out the seedling.
·Carry out identification of trees in a specific part of your school or neighbourhood. A tree labelling ceremony could also be arranged.
·Compile a list of everyday objects that are made of wood or wood-based materials, and find out how the wood was processed, where it came from and whatever else you can.
Trees and shrubs, whether native or introduced to WA, provide opportunities for the interest and study by the whole community, and when we walk around our own neighbourhood or drive through the countryside, we can appreciate the importance of such a diversity of plants to the well being of humanity.

The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a Nebraska journalist and politician originally from Michigan. Throughout his long and productive career,
Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as President Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture. But his most important legacy is Arbor Day.
Morton (photo, right) felt that Nebraska's landscape and economy would benefit from the wide-scale planting of trees. He set an
example himself planting orchards, shade trees and wind breaks on his own farm and he urged his neighbours to follow suit. Morton's real opportunity, though, arrived when he became a member of Nebraska's state board of agriculture.
He proposed that a special day be set aside dedicated to tree planting and increasing awareness of the importance of trees. Nebraska's first Arbor Day was an amazingsuccess. More than one million trees were planted. A second Arbor Day took place in 1884 and the young state made it an annual legal
holiday in 1885, using April 22nd to coincide with Morton's birthday. In the years following that first Arbor Day, Morton's idea spread beyond Nebraska with Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Ohio all
proclaiming their own Arbor Days. Today all 50 states celebrate Arbor Day although the dates may vary in keeping with the local climate. (State Arbor Days) At the federal level, in 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day. Arbor Day is also now celebrated in other countries including Australia. Variations are celebrated as
'Greening Week' of Japan, 'The New Year's Days of Trees' in Israel, 'The Tree-loving Week' of Korea, 'The Reforestation Week' of Yugoslavia, 'The Students' Afforestation Day' of Iceland and 'The National Festival of Tree Planting' in India. Julius Sterling Morton would be proud. Sometimes one good idea can make a real difference.
y is an excellent opportunity to take stock of the trees on your property and plan for the future. Inspect your trees. Note any broken branches or evidence of disease or insect infestation. Think about how planting new
trees might improve the look of your property or provide wind or heat protection. Take a trip to your local nursery to see what's available and to get new ideas. Walk around your neighbourhood. Are there any public areas where tree planting or tree maintenance might make a real difference to your
community? Talk with your neighbours. Find out what their opinions are. And, oh yes, plant a tree.
Today is the National Planting Day.I went to school at seven.Having a meeting,we gathered ourselves in the playground,and ma-rched out in procession to plant trees somewhere outside the city.
At last we came to a small hill,not very far from the city.We stopped and began to plant the trees.We divided our work like this.The first group dug pits.The second group put in the young trees and cover-ed the pits with earth.The third group fetched water from a river at the foot of the hill,and watered the trees.Our schoolmaster and some tea-chers worked with us,too.
We rested for a little while at noon,and ate some bread and cakes.We began to work again after dinner.
The planting interested me very much.I was very glad at the thought that those small trees which I planted will grow up some day.
I returned home with dirty hands at 3:30 p.m.
——快乐的植树节作文 (菁华6篇)
每年3月12日，是我们国家一年一度的植树节。而今年又恰逢我们建设街小学百年校庆。为了使今年这个植树节过得有意义，我们老师前几天就号召我们踊跃报名，去新华中心小学，与那里的同学们开展共植一棵树活动。在班上，我毫不犹豫地举手，并且积极地报了名。
今天下午，风和日丽，春风送暖，正是植树的好时节。我和我们四年级全体同学一道，在我们老师的带领下，欢欢喜喜、兴高采烈地乘上公交车，踏上了赶赴新华中心小学的路程。一开始，我们都一声不吭，可是心里却像有一只小兔子在怦怦的跳。一会儿，我们终于按捺不住激动的心情，开始你一句我一句的'唱歌、朗诵诗词。不知不觉中，我们就来到了目的地。
我们欢快地下了车，拿起自带的水桶和铲子，焦急的等待老师给我们分配任务。在老师的安排下，我和我们班的张其航同学与新华中心小学的杨明珠同学结成对子，共植一棵树。
我们植的这棵树是一棵梧桐树，有1米多高。因为张其航是个男生，所以就分工挖土和填土，我和杨明珠一开始负责扶正树苗，后来我们就踩土。等踩实之后，我们就争先恐后地去提水，认真的给小树浇水。弄好之后，我们把写着我们三个人名字的牌子挂在树上，因为我们是小树的成长负责人啊。最后，我们一起对着小树祈祷，盼望小树一定要成活，期盼小树茁壮成长。因为我们所栽种的这棵棵小树，不但能够绿化我们生存的环境，净化我们呼吸的空气，还见证着我们的友谊！
“啦啦，啦……”这快乐的歌声从哪儿传来。事情还得从昨天说起……
那天可真是个令人兴奋的日子。因为咱们班下午就会和天回实验二小的同学手拉手结对子去护树，这个振奋人心的消息让全班打起精神。下午，全班高高兴兴坐着车去护树地点了!
刚刚下午，我放眼望去，风景真是十分优美，远眺白云朵朵，*看是一片惹人喜爱的绿色，同学们都精力充沛。远远地，走来了天回实验二小的同学们，远看，简直是一道风景。
自由活动和演讲过后，当然就是最叫人期待的结对子活动了，开始我们有些不好意思，但渐渐地就熟了起来。我认识了个天回实验二小的朋友，是个可爱的小女孩，有个动听的名字――唐巧。开始我和她还很陌生，后来渐渐地成为了好朋友，一起接水，一起浇水，看见了如何挖土、种树，度过了一段快乐而短暂的两小时时光。活动在我们的笑声中结束了。
这一天，我们增强了环保意识，交到了好朋友，收获真是非常大!
今天，我们乘着客车，来到了雪野附*的小山上，进行义务植树活动。经过一番颠簸，大巴车终于停下了，在老师的带领下，我们的.小记者来到了一片光秃秃的草地。同学们非常高兴，恨不得马上开始种树，把一片荒凉的草地变成一片绿色的海洋。这时，一位叔叔拿着工具示范了一下怎样挖树坑，小朋友们认真听讲，接着说：“大家开始干吧!”于是，我们分成几个小组，大家便争先恐后地拿起铁锹，卖力的挖起树坑，我竖起铁锹，然后用脚一踩，双手紧握铁锹杆向下用力，一铲黄土就挖上来了，这样，挖呀挖呀就形成了一个尖尖的大坑，我们把栗子树苗放入树坑，同学扶着它笔直地立在当中，再慢慢地把土填进坑里，用脚在树苗周围踩一踩，这样就大功告成了，不一会儿，大家都干得直冒汗，栗子树在春风中像一个个坚强的士兵守卫着大地，给这片荒凉的草地带来了无限生机。我们种完了栗子树，大家都想象着栗子树成熟季节的景象，个个都非常自豪，躺在软绵绵的沙滩上，看到碧绿的水和蔚蓝的天，空中还飘着几朵悠闲的白云，地上硕果累累的栗子树，再加上金黄木桥的衬托，雪野湖更加美丽了，真是“相约莱芜，浪漫雪野”一道亮丽的风景线。
这真是一个难忘的植树节啊!
今年的植树节在周六，不容易集中活动。所以，我们三到六年级的师生，就在今天，用实际行动提前过了植树节。
我们的校园外有两大片将*八百棵的杨树，春夏秋三季，杨树林枝繁叶茂，成为一道美丽的风景。
春天来了，小杨树也该美美容了。我们今天的任务，就是给杨树穿上干净，漂亮的衣服。
为了不耽误上课，我们利用了中午休息的时间。刚到一点钟，孩子们就在老师的带领下，有的提着桶，有的拿着碗，还有的拿了大刷子。浩浩荡荡来到树林里。康老师早就准备好了白色的涂料。分配了任务后，老师们就带着大家热火朝天地干了起来。
三年级的孩子较小，就把临路边的一排树分给了他们。他们在华伟老师的带领下，一棵棵树，认真的涂着。不一会儿，一排小树全穿上了雪白的衣服，看着自己的劳动成果，孩子们真开心啊。
四年级的任务比较多，但他们以小组为单位，在满意老师和武芳老师的示范下，有条不紊地涂着，速度也不慢。
五年级的任务最重，“工作”条件也最恶劣。他们分到了洼地里的树，积累了一个冬天的落叶，人一踩，荡起了厚厚的灰尘，呛得人眼睛都睁不开。但孩子们在红祥老师和靳老师的带领下，一点也不怕脏不怕累，转眼间就涂了一大片。
六年级孩子分的是甬路西边的一大片。他们的年级最高，年龄最大，效率也最高，不仅把自己的分到的树涂得又快又干净，还奉命做了“善后”工作，把所有的树都检查了一遍，有漏涂的他们就补上。
经过半个多小时的劳动，小杨树全部穿上了雪白的衣服，真有焕然一新的感觉。
是啊，春天到了，小杨树已经长了芽胞，马上就要冒出新叶子了。我们用勤劳的双手，让我们的.小杨树干净漂亮的迎接春姑娘的到来。
今天是3月12日植树节，我们学校组织了植树活动，我很早的就来到了曲江公园跟同学老师们会合。
只见曲江公园内绿树成阴，鸟儿们早已在枝头开起了演唱会，晨练的老人们一个个精神抖擞。眼前的这一切都是那么的和谐，那么的美好，似乎都是为了迎接我们的到来而精心准备的，现在就等我们来为它添上一片新绿了。
与其他同学会合后，我们便是同老师一起去领树苗，我所在的这个小组一共领了4棵树苗。随后我们便小心翼翼地把小树苗搬运到植树区。
来到植树区，我们首先选了一个能够让我们心爱的`小树苗吸收到足够养分，照到足够阳光的地方，然后就便开始挖坑了。刚开始我们还不会使用铁锹，只的笨拙地，一点一点地把土挖开，体育老师见了便过来帮忙，只见他三下五除二就挖了一个又大又深的坑，刚挖好，我们就迫不及待地把桂花树苗放进坑里，将它扶正。
终于开始填土了，我们用小铲子轻轻地把土一点一点地填进坑里，生怕一不小心就伤害到小树苗，把它给弄疼了。再填好土，我们又把树苗旁的土踩实，再用小铲子铲出一个坝来，好让小树苗喝的饱饱的。
“啊，终于大功告成了！”随着一声感叹，我们终于帮小树苗们安好了新家。看着我们辛苦了一上午的劳动成果，我的心里如打翻了蜜罐子一般，不知有多甜。微风吹来，我仿佛闻到了桂花盛开时那浓郁的香味，看到了桂花盛开时那繁星点点的美丽景象。
今天真是个快乐的植树节，因为我学会种树了。
今天是孙中山先生的纪念日，也是三月十二日植树节，祖国人民为了纪念孙中山先生为国家做出的'贡献，把今天定为为祖国增添新绿的日子。
迎着和煦的春风，迈开轻快的脚步，我提前来到了植树区。为了植树节这天，我已经“全副武装”了：我左手拎水桶，右手抱树苗，头上顶化肥，全家都笑我是“米其林轮胎人”。
首先，我双手拾起铲子，右脚使劲把铲子往土里踩，把整个锹板都踩到了土里。然后，把铲子往下一压，再向上一抬，把脸盆般大小的土请出了家。我试着又挖了几个坑，一个比一个好。这时，我气喘吁吁地说：“我们现在可以把树苗放进去了。”
我拿着小树苗把它放在小坑的中心，妈妈拿着铲子将土铲回坑里，将坑填满，然后用铲子把坑里的土拍实，小树就种好了。我们再给小树浇上水，就大功告成了。
以后我经常给小树浇水、培土，小树一天天茁壮成长，现在我的小树已经长到半米多高了，它给我们的小区新增了一抹绿色。

make our cities greener
many things have been done and great progress has been made in the greenization of our cities in recent years. many trees have been planted and much care has been taken of the planted trees. but, in spite of all this, greenization in the cities in china is far from satisfactory compared with cities in other countries in the world. for example, the green space for every people in shanghai is only 2 square meters while that of the people in london exceeds 20 square meters.
we can benefit much from the greenization of our cities. first, trees absorb carbon dioxide which is harmful, but produce oxygen which is essential to human beings. secondly, with trees all around, our cities
will look more beautiful. thirdly, trees can improve the climate of the cities, making it neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter.
since we can get so much benefit from making our cities greener, we should spare no effort to do so. we should plant even more trees and take even better care of them while they are growing. besides, we should not cut down trees any more. in a word, we should do everything to add to the greenization of our cities.

——植树节的感想作文 (菁华6篇)
如果树木越来越少，各种天灾就会随时降临。热带林逐渐消失，沙漠逐渐出现。没了树木新鲜空气渐渐少了，人们健康会受到影响。绿色逐渐消失的话，世界会多么可怕。
每年的3月12日是我国的植树节，为了改善生态环境，绿化我们的家园，大家积极参与植树造林活动，从过去的荒山秃林，到今天的`郁郁葱葱;城市中的绿化率也在不断提高，在街道两旁，在居民小区，绿荫丛丛，四季桃红柳绿，花香鸟语，使我们生活在安居和谐、花园般境界之中。
在绿化中当然也有不和谐的音符，滥砍滥伐、毁林事件时有发生，有些单位未经审批就把树锯掉，有些商店认为树木遮蔽了店面，就自作主张锯去行道树，有的把树干当作搭建凉棚支撑，有的在树枝树干拉上一条绳子凉晒衣服被子，更有人在树旁生起炉子经营早点快餐，树木受此折磨，以至萎缩缩死亡，令人痛心不已。
我们的绿化应该是全面的绿化，而不是甲地搞绿化，把乙地的树移到甲地，这种现象叫做绿化的“农转非”。他在调查后发现，原本在数十年农村长得好好的树，有的移到城市后死了，“人挪活，树挪死”，这也是一种*，这边绿了，那边秃了，这是在糟蹋绿化，值得深思。
一天，小猴和小熊正在兴高采烈地玩。突然，发现一只美丽的小鸟在绿油油的草地上蹦来蹦去，看起来焦急万分。小猴走过去问：“小鸟，小鸟，你怎么不开心啊!”小鸟苦恼地说：“有人把我的家给毁了，我无家可归了。”小熊说：“小鸟你不要着急，我和小猴帮你重建家园。”小鸟扑扇着美丽的翅膀，十分感激地说：“谢谢你们。”
小熊从家里拿出一把铲子，小猴从家里拿出一棵小树苗。小熊来到一块空草地上，挖起土来。它挖呀挖呀，挖得满头大汗，终于挖了一个大坑。小猴把小树苗小心翼翼地栽倒大坑里面，小熊又把土给埋了起来。小猴对小熊说：“小树苗除了吸取养分以后，还要阳光的照耀，才能快快长大。”太阳公公听到了它们的对话，赶忙来帮忙，于是太阳公公把五彩缤纷的光芒照到小鸟 新家园的地方。小鸟扑扇着翅膀说：“太阳公公谢谢你，我就快有一个美丽的家园了。”
小猴和小熊也高兴手舞足蹈，它们又在书前立了块牌子，写上“爱护树木，人人有责”。太阳公公也笑眯眯地说：“今年的植树节真令人难忘啊!”
欢乐植树节三月十二日的植树节将要到来，我们社区里特地举办了种树认养活动，目的除了可以美化环境，也可以亲身体验种树的乐趣，还能促进亲子关系呢！
首先，先领取种子和认养牌，拿到时我非常兴奋，已经迫不及待的就拿起小水桶和小铲子来挖土，心里想着一颗小种子，就要在我的用心照料下变成大树，我要如如何对待它呢？我在心中反问自己，如果我是小种子，我会希望……？希望每天都可以晒到暖暖的太阳，做做日光浴，有充足的水份，可以解解渴，还有营养的土壤可以让我长得更高更壮，偶尔再来一场雨，帮我洗洗澡，让身体干干净净的，对了！我还想有个伙伴，如果可以再多种几棵，当成我的朋友，那就太完美了。
想着想着自己好像已经变成小种子，于是我欲罢不能的又多种了两颗呵！哈哈哈！这下子我的责任可重了，在我的巧手下共有三个小生命即将诞生，我要听取小种子的心声，有始有终的好好照顾它们长大，绝对不能半途而废，而且要让小种子们更茁壮的延续下去。
3月12日是植树节，当天是星期三，为了不影响上课，学校通知江南晚报的小记者于3月14日到堰桥参加植树活动，听到这个消息，我特别兴奋，连续几个晚上没睡好了。
终于盼来了这一天，我早早地来到校门口，跟同学们一起坐上了带我们去植树的大巴车，一路上同学们都开心地聊着植树的话题，很快我们就到达了目的地——堰桥小记者植树林。
植树开始了，四个同学分为一组，我们先找了一棵小树苗，然后在指定的地方挖了一个适合小树苗种植的坑，再把小树苗放进坑里，一个同学扶着小树苗，其他三个同学用铲子将树根周围的泥土均匀地填上，这样，一棵小树苗就种好了。为了这次植树活动，我们每位同学还为小树苗做了贺卡，把我们的祝福送给小树苗，有了同学们彩色卡片的装点，小树苗显得更加美丽。活动结束我们要离开的时候，天下起了雨，像是在给小树苗浇水。在绵绵春雨中，小树苗向上挺了挺身子，像是在说：“谢谢小朋友们，我一定会长成一棵茂密的大树，来装点美丽的城市。”
作为江南晚报的小记者，我们有责任也有义务跟大家说：保护树木，人人有责！
植树节在每年的3月12日，生活中可不能没有树，树能给我们提供氧气，树能造房子、造家具，就连我们生活中经常用的书、纸都是用树来做成的，树还可以防止沙尘暴、洪水……
森林里的树能够*衡地球的二氧化碳。森林是二氧化碳的主要消耗者，每公顷森林生产10吨干物质会吸收16吨二氧化碳，释放12吨氧气，这使得森林成为一座巨大的氧气库。因此植树造林已成为减缓温室效应的主要途径。
植树的好处有很多，意义重大，它不仅可以保护、改善环境，而且有利于社会生产的发展。树木可以阻挡风沙，保持水土，保护庄稼。树木还可以为我们直接提供木材跟林副产品，我国虽然地大物博，但是人口众多，长期的毁树毁林，滥砍滥伐，使我国的森林覆盖率大大低于世界30%的*均水*。而由此带来的水土流失，洪涝灾害，每年都给国家跟人民造成巨大的经济损失。想想98年长江、嫩江流域发生的特大洪涝灾害，使多少个家庭流离失所，有家难归，这一切都是人们不注意生态保护结出的苦果。是大自然对人类滥砍滥伐行为的惩罚。
植树十分的重要，我们要多植树，少砍树，因为树对人类有很多的好处所以我们要保护树。
几亿年前，地球归动物所拥有时候植物繁茂，到处生机勃勃，充满了绿色，但是，智商远远高出其他动物人类出现后，植物像被施了魔法一样急剧减少。那是因为，人类为了建造房屋，砍伐树木所造成。有是因为商业需要，大批大批砍伐树林留出空地，用来建造大楼。正因为许多人擅自砍伐树林与树木，所以大自然被破坏。
砍伐树木坏处很多。大家都知道树木可以循环二氧化碳，如果大量砍伐树木，树木数量就会急剧减少，我们呼出二氧化碳无法得到循环。茂密树木可以阻挡沙尘暴，前两年北京遭遇沙尘暴，整个城市被沙子所笼罩这也是因为缺少树木保护所造成。
大家都知道中原两湾城吧！以前，那里破烂不堪，那些*房瓦是东一个洞，西一个洞，门是一块木板做，街道里堆满了垃圾，脏及了。现在中原两湾城建起了公寓、大厦，河水清澈见底，河边杨柳随着微风轻轻摆动，这就是人们意识到了尊重自然，保护环境重要性。
我希望每个人都能保护树林、保护树木，让都市生活添一分绿色！
——小学植树节英语作文通用5篇
The day before March 12, we heard the news that we would plant trees tomorrow. The students were all alive and happy!
The next day, it was sunny and sunny. Some of the students carry buckets, some carry saplings, and others with shovels. Under the guidance of our teacher, we came to an open space happily.
"Start planting trees! The teacher vowed. Some students dug pits, some students carefully put the saplings into the pit, then filled the soil back, and then the students brought small buckets to water the saplings. The students planted a small tree after the teacher. At last, the students had finished planting the trees, and some were sweating, and I was covered with mud... You look at me, I look at you, all laugh.
Ah! Im sure well grow up quickly.
Warm spring came，three lovely children to the park to plant trees，their hands，some holding a kettle，some holding branches，while others digging pit. There are groups of lively and lovely little monkeys in the trees to play happily，groups of birds singing and dancing songs flying happily in the sky，crystal clear fish in a pool of golden fish swimming in the water . Flowing rushing streams，moisture tree seedlings. Where three students go，there will be a clean robe.
At this time，they have come to a good place for afforestation. Young pioneers are preparing to plant trees. They sing little poems. They ride the spring breeze，laughter all the way and march toward the barren hills. The spring dyed our feet. These sentences Ten years of trees，a hundred years of trees，ah，this is really a meaningful Arbor Day.
Today is Arbor Day. The sky is also beautiful. The bright sun shines warmly on the earth, which is very suitable for outdoor planting. At noon, my classmates and I, carrying hoes and buckets, happily walked to the grove in one corner of the campus to loosen the soil, water and list the saplings we planted last year.
We came to the grove and listened to the speech of counselor pan. Under the guidance of the counselors and teachers of this class, they adopted a sapling, then hung a sign on the saplings and began to loosen the soil for them.
I couldn't wait to pick up the hoe. As soon as I went down, I found that the plane was crooked and the tiger's mouth was numb. It seems that loosening the soil is not an easy job! Because the soil is very hard, it is difficult to dig in. In addition, there are some small stones in the soil, so it is even more difficult, which can make me pant for breath. Besides, it's sunny today. I'm already sweating after a few hoes. Look, my classmates, I seem to feel the same. After only a few minutes, I was exhausted and my palms were burning. But I didn't give up. For my little sapling, I gritted my teeth and held on. After a while, the counselor teacher thought I was almost done, so he asked my classmates to water my little saplings. Ah, it's finally done! While I was wiping my sweat, I appreciated my little sapling. It nodded its head gently in the breeze, as if to thank me. Don't mention how happy I was in my heart!
A flower and a tree are all life, and a branch and a leaf are always related to love. In order to make our home better, I will plant more trees to protect the green and make the spring green our motherland.
At 8:00 on March 12, all our fourth grade students gathered at the north gate of Qujiang park. The teacher said to us in a poetic voice: "today, we came to Qujiang park to add a green to the earth and nature we depend on for survival. Therefore, please come on!"
After listening to the teacher's encouragement, the students' confidence increased greatly. This tree planting is one for every two people. I happen to be assigned to partner with Deputy monitor Zhou Jiakang, which makes me very excited. I saw Chen teacher shovel the soil, digging holes were not what difficulties, and then dig with a spade. At first, it was relatively easy, but the more you shovel down, the more difficult it is. When you shovel a pit less than ten centimeters high, I am sweating "I won't shovel!"
I said angrily to the pit, "no, this is the crystallization of the sweat of our two eyes.". But this tuhang is always against me. What should I do? At this time, Mr. Chen seemed to have guessed my mind, took the initiative to come to me and kindly said to me, "can't you shovel? I'll help you.". Then he grabbed the shovel in my hand and shoveled it skillfully. Finally, I helped the tree, and Mr. Chen buried the little tree again, leaving only watering. At this time, Hu Rongkang grabbed the bucket in my hand and said to me, "I'll fetch water for you.". Before I could answer, he rushed to the river and helped me get the water. I poured the water on the little tree myself.
With a "click", Mr. Chen took a picture of us. In the picture, there was a small wooden card hanging on the small tree, which said: add a piece of green to nature.
Today, I participated in the Arbor Day activity organized by my class. It was fun.
The activity has knowledge of plants, we first know cedar, cedar like a tall pagoda; Then I knew the birch, the bark of the birch as white as the snow in winter; I also know white magnolia, the color is white, from a distance, like white birds.
Then we changed into hanfu, reciting poems about spring, we memorized a lot of poems, and mom and dad gave us applause.
At the end of the activity, my classmates mother sent us each a succulent plant.
