In The Garden!

Mrs. Barr's class enjoyed an afternoon in the garden today! Yesterday we talked about the four things plants need to survive: water, soil (nutirents), air, and sun. We also looked at three types of soil: top soil, peat moss, and our current dirt from outside.

Today our boys and girls got to dig in by mixing the three types together in our garden to make it a better home for flowers.

Thank you to Jadon for brining in a bucket and two small hand rakes. They sure came in handy today!

I have updated my favorite books list to include some great books about plants! Maybe you can find some books at home or in the library about plant life!

As you can see, there was a lot of good team work going on! Our students mixed the three soils to make our garden better!

Mrs. Barr is very excited about many more lessons to come in the garden. Next week on Tuesday we will be planting bulbs! Tulips and Daffodils.

If you would like to help during gardening time just let me know! An extra set of hands wouldn't hurt! We will be working outside from 12:00-1:00 on Tuesday as long as it doesn't rain!
