In February and early March, students reviewed plant parts, discussed and predicted what was inside a seed, counted and drew sunflower seeds, and made sunflower seed packets.  When weather permitted students also began preparing the food garden for spring planting by pulling weeds, turning compost, and collecting "spiky balls" aka the seed pods from the liquid amber trees around the garden. When we return after spring break, we will move into our watershed unit as well as begin planting in the food garden.

Kindergartners discovered a few very heathly and large kale plants in their garden. We also identified borage, California poppy, and parsley. Mrs. Gage and Ms. Varner's class had a blast working to weed the beds to prepare for spring planting.
