Weed or Seed

Rain again, so we couldn't work in the gardens!  We'll have a lot of weeding to do when the sun comes out!

Too much rain?
 Two of our young gardeners brought this turtle in to show the class.  They found him (?) in the road.  Dad said they were turning him loose today.  We've got some nature lovers in Garden N Grow!


Today we learned about weeds - how to control weeds by cultivating and mulching.  We also identified some common weeds.  Then we divided into teams and went out in the field to see how many different weeds we could find.

What's this weed called?

Can you whistle with a blade of grass?

Morgan's green pepper 

We had some time left after the weed hunt, so we made slime with glue and liquid starch.  Stirring it took some effort, so this exercise called for teamwork!

SLIME!
Working together
