Week of August 8 – 12

I apologize for not getting a post up last week!  We’re off to a great start!  The students are excited for our classroom economy and it has been working well so far.

In Science this quarter we are studying plants.  I would love to get a classroom garden going.  September is a prime planting time to catch the second growing season.  We have two raised beds at the very back of the school but I would like to build some smaller ones near our classroom.  If you know of anyone with experience in building them that would like to help us that would be great.  I am also looking for donations of materials to get them built and started.  As a class we will be asking local nurseries to help us in this endeavor.
