2nd Grade Planted Seeds Today

It was a great day for planting today with the temperature in the 50°s and sunny. And that is just what the students in Mrs. Cannon's, Mrs. Trudel's, Ms. Santa Maria's and Mrs. Albright's classes did.  They planted cole crop seeds in the garden.  Cole crop vegetables (not cold as I thought) are hardy and grow best in spring and fall.  Among these vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower and kale.  And those were some of the seeds planted today.  They also planted peas. Many of the plants have a harvest period of 60 days so the goal is to be able to share this  crop in the cafeteria before summer vacation begins.   Give a big hand to the second graders!!

The second grade planted seeds with parent volunteer Kirsten Hunter.
