Marquez School 2nd Graders Celebrate Earth Day

This spring Marquez School 2nd graders celebrated Earth Day by planting in peat pots and eating a garden salad. Each class visited the lower edible garden with their teacher. We discussed that the peat pots will decompose in the soil.

Children chose between lettuce seeds and basil seeds. They were able to taste basil.

The children enjoyed eating and relaxing in the lower garden. Some drew and others looked at the plants and bugs.

Thanks to the parents and community members who helped serve the salads at the "salad bar". Thanks also to Gelson's for donating the salad ingredients.
