Daily Chores - Gardening
There are many things that have to be done every day at a farm. One of our daily chores is to work in the garden area. Here is a video that shows a typical morning planting in the garden.

From Brian:
Yesterday we picked weeds and I thought I had a allergic reaction to one of the weeds,but i didn't.We did some farm chores and I met Ms.Pat's husband,son, her son's wife,and Ms.Christy who had plants to give us.These are three reasons I like garden camp so far.(1)I am apart of the vj/video journalists,(2)Everybody gets to have a fun time with Mr.Johnson,Mr.Gettig,and Ms.Butter Fingers.(3)Everybody's so nice.From Carmela:
Q: What do stems do?
A: Stems support plants like making them stand, helping water and nutrients get inside the plant which help it grow. We also did an experiment with celery. We put the stems in regular water and blue colored water and today the stem and plant were greenish blue. I was really surprised by the results I think it will also surprise you too! :) !

Garden Camp 2009 Day 1
Garden Camp 2009 kicked off today with a fantastic time at the farm! We are at Pretty Lake this summer and looking forward to learning and fun.
On this first day, we took a tour of the areas we will be spending time in and did a little bit of work. Some planted in the garden while others painted crates for the chickens to lay eggs in. We also took time out to "chillax" and read in peace and quiet. We also had a wonderful lesson called "Rooting for the roots" where we found plants with big roots, brought them back to the classroom, and took scientific measurements with rulers and magnifying glasses.
Like last year, we will be posting pictures, videos, and written updates from Garden Camp. We also have some students shooting and editing video this year. Here is a video that was made by two 5th grade students and Mr. Gettig. Check back often to see more great happenings at Garden Camp 2009!
