Happy October!
What a busy month this has been. We've had a wonderful field trip to Snell Family Farm with our gardening class. We were able to pull up carrots; sample kale, carrots, apples, bok choy, and berries; and learn about how the farm runs.
Gardening has been a creative and fun way for us to get to know all about fruits and vegetables that are native to Maine. We've learned a song that helps us remember the parts of a plant and sorted pictures by the part. We also counted the number of seeds in a pumpkin--did you know they have over 400 seeds?
