As you may know, our class is immersed in a garden project. We have been learning about vermicomposting, seed germination and plant development, the benefits of gardening locally, how insects benefit our garden, and are starting to talk about urban farming on a larger scale. Within the next two weeks, we will be assembling some garden boxes for our school and planting some small vegetable plants we have started from seeds. We are so excited for where this project has led us, and the learning opportunities thus far have been incredible. As we get ready to plant, I wanted to ask families if they would be interested in assisting us with the task of starting our garden. Please let us know if you would be able to do any of the following:
donate plants for the school garden
come in and help build the garden boxes depending on the day
come in and help spread soil depending on the day
come in and help plant the beds depending on the day
donate gardening gloves or help find a donor for them
donate gardening tools (hoes, rakes, shovels, or trowels) or help find a donor for them
donate mulch or help find a donor for it
donate a 50 ft hose and spray nozzle or help find a donor for it
Thank you for your support with this project! We hope this garden becomes a part of our school culture and that it teaches responsibility, care for nature, and the importance of sustainability, amongst many other things! Make sure to ask your child about a special announcement that is coming on Thursday afternoon…
While we know some of these may be lofty goals, we also have a wish list. If you have any local business contacts or friends that could donate any of these materials, please let us know.
Wish List
Compost bins
Wooden fencing
Large stones (for sitting, playing)

Tomorrow, we begin a new experience with a group of physical education students from Butler. Our kids will get to meet with them two times a week for seven weeks and engage in various movement activities. It should be a very fun and rewarding experience!
Tomorrow is also our class Friendship/Valentine’s Parties. Please remember to have your child bring their valentines if they did not choose to make any at school.
Thursday evening is our parent organization meeting at 6pm. Please join us as we form committees and get to action!
Next Monday there is no school due to President’s Day. We will see you back on Tuesday, the 21st.

I also had to share how much I enjoyed our family night last night. It was so great to see families engaging with one another and sharing the accomplishments of our children. The most powerful moment for me was when the children shared their family’s sculptures about
