Angel and Astrid

"Hi, our names are Astrid and Angel. We are in Mrs.McGehee’s 8th grade advisory class and this is the story of our garden. Well we have finished planting most of our vegetables, and have even sold some to our fellow teachers. With the money we raised we were able to buy some strawberries, that will eventually turn into big, fat, red, juicy, delicious strawberries (hopefully). Now let us tell you what we did last week. We went to visit some adorable little kids, at Washington Pre-K Center in Palestine, Texas 75801. They taught us that when you plant you need to first make hole to put the seeds in, and give it a “Love Pat”, and that you also need water and sun. If you want to watch these adorable, cute little kids show us how to plant, you can go to the video posted right under our blog. Thanks for giving us your time.

                    P.S. we took some pictures and edited a video just for you.Hope you like it and do the Mambo as you watch!;D

  

Lovee,

Sorry about the awkward angle, we obviously aren't professional camera people.  We will do better next time!

We are just working and our plants are growing!  Thankfully!  We have added a second layer of dirt on one of our potato towers.  The idea is to add dirt as the plants grow instead of digging a big hole and planting the potato.  That way, when the potatoes are ready, you just have to  open up the chicken wire.  Yummy potatoes and no digging!

We now have corn in our garden, as well as tomatoes, jalapenos and the highly anticipated.....strawberries!

This is a sneak peak of our tire project.  We hope to have this completed by Monday.  More to come.

This is one of my favorite clips from our trip to Washington.  My 8th graders are comparing our garden to the Pre-K's garden.  Listen carefully as my kids have a few moments of clarity.
