Observing how trees change and grow

Mr. Idol and Mrs. Johnson's Class has been observing a tree located at Smith Farm for the past three weeks.  What we have found out is that our tree did change over period of time.  When we first started observing our tree it did not have any leaves on the branches.  Also, on our first observation we noticed a cocoon of some type on one of the branches.  We thought it was going to be a butterfly.

A week later we went out to see our tree and noticed some buds starting to appear.  Our cocoon still looked the same. 

Yesterday we went out to look at our tree and it had leaves all over the branches.  Our cocoon still looks the same.  We don't think it is a buttefly anymore.
