Planting Day

The perfect balance to a morning of hard independent work indoors is an afternoon of hard teamwork outdoors. Some classes planned their beds carefully on grid paper - ever so diligently considering the space and sunlight needed by each plant. Other classes wanted their gardens to evolve on their own. In the end, the grids were helpful, but not constraining. At this point, all the gardens have merged into one collective fifth grade community garden. We take special pride in the teamwork that has made our garden a success and the responsibility we have developed as we care for our young plants. We are completely invested in these green creatures, who, alone, have the ability to tap into the sun's energy to feed us all. After nurturing our charges from seed to sprout to plant, we are determined to work together to ensure that each one THRIVES.
