Ms. Yoshida's 2nd graders plant in their raised bed

Last week Ms. Yoshida's 2nd graders planted in their raised bed and started the worm bin.

We're going to add shredded paper to the worm bin

We're adding veggie scraps such as this kale

Tearing newspaper (browns) into pieces

Planting seeds with edible marigolds for decoration.

They planted lettuce, radishes and carrots in their raised bed after mixing in the Worm Grow compost. (Thanks to Kellogg's for donating the Worm Grow to our school). Thanks to Seed Savers  for donating the seeds. These crops are cool season veggies.

The children tore strips of paper to add to the worm bin for bedding and covering for the red wriggler worms.  They also added some veggie scraps and coffee grounds from Ms. Marie's kitchen for the worms to eat.  We added some worms to the worm bin and a couple to the bed for the kids to watch.
