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?

Then, you will bring your answers to school in the morning and we will check them off for you!
