Garbage Day

Standard

We have been studying about Renew, Recycle and Re-use. Fittingly our garbage day is on Wednesdays and the children anxiously awaited the garbage truck to see how it disposes of our garbage.
Some of the words they learned this week are: dump, landfill, dispose and incinerator.

Turnips Children Planted

Standard
Turnips Children Planted

Fifth week of turnip growth. The weather is still iffy- so we will keep indoors until all signs of winter is really gone. The weather says snow is in our forecast …sigh!

Here the children all participated in planting seeds using recycled baby food jars.

The window sill provide enough sunlight for their growth. In the picture you see some Morning Glory that I planted myself that week.
