Yesterday Ms. Newman's kindergarteners visited the edible garden for the first time. We discussed their favorite fruits and vegetables and then reviewed the vegetables that they were going to plant. We named lettuce, kale, broccoli, sugar snap peas and carrots. The children planted sugar snap pea seeds and then seedlings of kale, lettuce, broccoli and beets in their Peter Rabbit/salad bed.
Thanks to community volunteer Carolyn Hasselkorn and parent Crystal for helping the children plant.
The children enjoyed sampling carrots and sugar snap peas in the garden. Later Ms. Newman was prepared a taste of salad using broccoli, peas and lettuce.
One boy said, "this was fun! I've never gardened before!" Hopefully he'll continue to enjoy gardening!
