Great Gardeners

We had an awesome guest speaker talk to us today about caring for a garden and growing our own vegetables.  Ms. Brenda spent some time in our classroom telling us about the different potatoes we can grow. Then she took us out back to the Chets Creek garden and let us dig up some potatoes to take home to our families!  We also took turns weeding the other areas of the garden but then the rain came.  While rain is good for the garden it's not so much fun for the gardeners - especially right before lunch time!  We tied our gardening experience to literacy by reading Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato by our special author, Tomie dePaola!
