Building, Designing, and Habitat

After a nutritious breakfast and journaling time, we made our way outside to work on the garden. Some of our peppers were vandalized, which is very sad. We found some of them smashed on the pavement nearby, but we were able to make something good out of it. We took the seeds from the smashed peppers and will replant them. All plants come from seeds so these will be very useful the next time we plant!

After gardening, we made our way to the back area of the playground where Mr. Johnson has been building new boxes for us to plant in. Here is a video of us at work.



As you can see from the video, we also worked on the designs for the park benches on our playground. They had graffiti on them, which we painted over with primer. It rained today, so we decided to wait until tomorrow to paint our designs on the benches. We all made two designs and presented them to the class. Even Mr. Johnson had a design and presented it!

Miss Smith talked with us about habitats. A habitat is where living organisms live. We took time to draw our habitat...our rooms at home! Mr. Gettig especially liked the pictures we drew so we gave them to him for safe keeping. Speaking of pictures, we took a little time to work on our photo book with Mr. Gettig too. It will be neat to get our own printed copies at the end of Garden Camp.

We wrapped up the day by listening to Mr. Johnson read out loud to us from our book. It is getting near the end and is very exciting! Check back tomorrow for pictures of our benches being painted with our beautiful designs!
