Cool as Cucumbers...

Miss Alyssa and Miss Mary Anne from the Growing Gardeners program were back today to help us continue learning about nutrition, container gardening and recycling.  The students had a great time talking, singing and even dancing about recycling.  Today, the students each planted cucumber seeds.

How are your carrot and corn plants doing at home?  The students were able to explain to Miss Alyssa and Miss Mary Anne all the things plants need to grow and thrive.  They even enjoyed a nice snack of fresh cucumbers.

We are taking part in a community partnership with Ready-Set-Go.  Once a week, for four weeks, volunteers from Ready-Set-Go will be coming in to teach us more about the importance of healthy eating, and to teach us about container gardening.


Wednesday was our first visit, and we had a blast!  Miss Alyssa and Miss Mary Anne led us in a fun lesson of games, songs and activities.  Then, each student planted their very own carrot seeds. These came home on Friday, and we are going to try our best to watch them grow and take care of them. Miss Alyssa and Miss Mary Anne will return on Wednesday for our next gardening session. We can't wait to see what we will be planting next!
