Kindergarten has been learning about pollinators and the important role they play in helping plants to grow. Yesterday they made 'seed bombs' full native Iowa prairie grass and wildflowers seeds in soil and clay. They can 'plant' their seed bombs to create a small pollinator garden by dropping or tossing them into an empty/unplanted space. Water them slightly to start, and Mother Nature should take care of the rest!
1st grade enjoyed their culture food day! Thanks to all the parents that helped and made something for the kids to try!
4th grade braved the wind the last couple days to clean off and prep garden beds. Today they 'chaos' planted about 80 onion sets! Will they grow? Most likely! Will they be in neat, tidy, evenly spaced rows? Nope! Will we have fun harvesting them and cooking with them anyway when we come back to school this fall? DEFINITELY!!
3rd grade had a wonderful day touring the Harriman-Nielsen Historic Farm and Home. We then toured the Franklin Co Courthouse and a Sheriff's vehicle. Finishing up with lunch and free play @ Harriman Park. Thank you, CAL PTO and Sarah DeBour for a great day.
