Saguaro

Today we read the story "Cactus Hotel" as our unit opener. We learned that the saguaro cactus can live for 200 years and grow to be 50 feet tall! The class wanted to know how tall 50 feet was. Since we didn't have a ladder tall enough, we measured how long 50 feet was in our hallway.  Beginning at our door, we made it past Mrs. Rich's bulletin board and almost to Mrs. Young's room.  That's a tall plant!
