Potatoes

The Colchester Food Shelf is our school's neighbor. Right behind the food shelf and next to our school is a small plot where students help grow vegetables for the food shelf. This June first graders helped plant potatoes there and in the fall when they are second graders they will go back to dig up the potatoes and donate them to the food shelf! Here are a few photos from our planting process.

More Chicks

Here are photos of all the kids holding chicks in case you, parents, would like to save them! Kids all took a copy home at the end of the unit.

Chicks!

The end of our year was a whirlwind and I have lots of photos that I never got around to posting during the last month. These photos are from the end of our unit studying the life cycle of a chick. Kids all created "All About Chicks" books and we shared them with the class next door who did the same project. On the last day our chicks were here (before moving back to farms) we had a big chick celebration where families came in to meet the chicks and to see all of the work students had done throughout the unit!
