Week 3 is underway!

We started week three of Garden Camp today!

After a healthy breakfast, we wrote in our journals and answered two questions: what are the parts of the plant we eat? Why do we eat plants?

Plants have leaves, roots, a stem, seeds, flowers, and sometimes fruit. We eat plants to help keep us healthy. They have many nutrients that people need.

We pulled weeds in the garden today. It is important to pull the weeds so that the plants get all the nutrition, not the weed. We also pulled weeds in front of the building to help our school continue to look great!


We did some planting at one of our neighbors, who is also the grandad of one of us at garden camp!
After lunch and free time, we spent time reading silently. Then Mr. Johnson shared with us what the parts of plants do. There’s a lot going on in there!

Then we cleaned up, watered the garden one more time, and finished the day listening to Miss Smith read out loud to us.

Here is a video of today:

You all are awesome! I love the lilies and the daisies that you planted at Lazaria's Grandpa's house. They look great. I took a picture of a garden here in Kentucky for you to see. I will send it to Mr Johnson as soon I can. I can't wait to see the garden at Edison! :)
