Food miles in Fourth grade

This is the research portion of a food transportation miles lesson that Miss Laurens class began two weeks ago.

2nd grade

Here we have students helping to build a green wall with Boston Ivy

Here we have a K2

Student planting brigade, heading over to the playground to start a sunflower bed across from the bunny enclosure and rose garden.

5th graders

Are pictured here training one of our  Boysenberries vines to climb vertically.

Third graders

Here we have the third grade thinning out some of our bountiful peach and nectarine harvest. This involves taking the extra fruit off of the tree before ripening occurs. If you are wondering why we do this ask a third grader.

First graders

Here we are harvesting fresh Marjoram to dehydrate and store for a later use.

Apple pie lesson

Here is first grades apple pie before it was baked. The students learn about local food sources by making a pie with in season fruit.
