We HEART Reading!

Gardening!

On Monday we didn't have a scheduled special to enjoy, but it was just our luck that the farmers from the Veggie Patch visited our school. 

 We enjoyed going outside and planting peppers and lettuce. 

 

We will be taking care of the 5th grade garden bed! 

 How much longer until we get to enjoy our homegrown goodies?
