January 5th 3rd grade garden day

While in the garden today students observed live strawberry plants and berries. They recorded their observations on their record sheet. The students helped with the clean up after the freeze. It is important for them to see what happens after a prolonged freeze and to see the decomposition. Also it is important for them to know that our gardens will sprout again with new seeds very soon. One group planted new turnip seeds.  Two other groups removed the dried sunflowers and we harvested the seeds from them to be replanted at a later date. Other groups removed dead/decomposing plants and tilled the soil.
