Scenes from a garden...our garden! The next phase of our project includes maintaining and harvesting our garden. The arugula was out of control when we returned from spring break! It made for some bitter tasting, but lots of curious taste buds enjoyed it. And then Ms. Kegley's class treated us all to Strawberry Salsa utilizing the beautiful strawberries from the garden. What is a weed? We decided that it is anything that we didn't plant. Pull it, and get the roots! We saw some evidence of animal life as well: a hatched caterpillar chrysalis, a humming bird, lots of bugs and snail holes of leaves. Our literacy focus will be to research the answers to our many wonderings about our garden. Stay tuned. We started Science with Mrs. Lee.They started with discussing the different parts of a plant, and then a seed dissection. Science Notebooks and CritiqueOur students have been organizing their observations and growing ideas in their science notebooks. One day before break we took time to critique our garden observations with a co-created rubric.

Thank you! It's been fun. (I think Jake and Holden both enjoyed a few "sneaky" bites of the fennel, much preferred over the bitter arugula.)
