Ariana

It is the beginning of another great week at Palestine Middle School and I have my first student post.  

"Hello My Name Is Ariana And I Am Writing About Our Class Garden. Well The First Day We Were All Talking About How We Are Going To Set Up Our Garden. All My Fellow Classmates Were Saying What Kind Of Plants We Were Going To Grow. We All Said; Tomatoes,Kiwi,Spinach,Beans,Squash,And Much More. The Second Day We Starting Getting All Our Tools So We Could Plant The Plants. We Started On Just Planting Them Into Seed Trays. Then We Had Made Sections Of Rows On The Garden So They Could Look Nice And Neat. When The Plants Grew To Where You Could See The Stem Come Out Of The Soil We Took Them Outside To The Garden And Planted Them To The Ground. The First Plant We Planted Outside Were The Beans. Now We Are Just Watering Plants And Pulling Weeds. Hopefully Our Garden Comes Out Good At The End."

Ariana is a great kid and always willing to help out, even if she isn't quite sure what to do.  She didn't hesitate one bit when I asked her to write the first student post.  

Although our little garden doesn't look like much right now, but we have a lot going on.  Potato towers, a green house full of seedlings, lettuce and we are selling our extra plants to some very gracious staff members to raise money for strawberries. Our biggest obstacle right now is that we don't have an easily accessible water source near our garden.  To water our garden right now, we have to fill up a bucket in my classroom and carry it outside.  We have two buckets and two watering cans. As you can imagine, this takes a long time.  Hopefully we can figure out something soon!
