Mr. J's Third graders in the garden

Last week Elizabeth from Minto Brown Island Growers came to McKinley with some starts from her greenhouse and Mr. J's class headed into the garden to do some planting. There were three kinds of peas and three kinds of lettuce. We learned a little bit about a local farmer, what kinds of plants like the cool Spring weather (lettuce and peas!), and got to get our hands dirty planting something we can tend, grow and eventually eat.

Elizabeth explaining
how to plant the little starts

He looks like he's done this before

Lots of digging! And directing!

Must be good dirt, the worms like it
