Kindergarteners seems to be the perfect age to teach and to enjoy, all at the same time. Here we see Sister Kathleen taking her class out on this beautiful sunny afternoon to water the tomato plants they have put in and even named. The seedlings are now addressed by alphabetical names: Adam, Barbie, Connor, DeeDee, Edgar and Francine. The box garden had been an upper grade project last year, but this year the Kindergarten will enjoy the adventure of nurturing plants.
The watering is a big adventure today. Making sure each plant gets a drink and continues to grow is filled with wonder. A warning to the wise though! There are fire ants living in the far corner of the box bed. We need to stay away from them as they can be nasty.
What is this growing in our next box bed? A squirrel has been here doing his own planting!
A pecan nut! And it is growing into a potential tree. Our squirrels plant or hide these nuts every where, but not always in the right places.
These two boxes are a little different from the first. They are supposed to be self watering. Here we see Ashley adding water to the bottom of the box to provide continual moisture for these two tomato plants. The rest of the classs looks on in wonderment.
