My 4th grade "GREEN THUMB" lunchtime garden club members pose with our garden box showing avacado, potatoes, Cosmos, carrots, radishes and Marigolds.
This is the 4th grade garden just beginning to grow.

This is one of the radishes we grew.
This is the garden box with just the dirt that 4 Kindergarten classes got to share. Yet, we managed to grow many things in my morning and afternoon class gardens.
Everyone in Kindergarten class listens to instructions for having a garden.
One of the students is planting radishes.
The radishes are coming up and this student is planting other veggies.
The radishes are ready to eat and the rest of the garden is growing!
Kindergarten students sample radishes from their garden.
With the radishes gone, the rest of our garden finishes growing. Soon the butterflies will come, attracted by the flat Cosmos flowers.
A student is taking their turn watering the garden at recess.
This student thought the flowers looked awfully hot so watered them on the "top" too!
We even grew cucumbers in a planter pot!

We studied many careers before we joined the other 7 Kindergarten classes in a program for the parents about careers. We wore hats depicting the career we wanted to be when we grew up. Afterwards, we got a photo of all of us with our teachers.
Our Kindergarten Class is represented as growing flowers.
KINDERGARTEN
Spring is here.
Let's give a cheer.
Our world is filled with beauty.
As flowers bloom,
They need more room
Since growing is their duty.
They reach new heights
With such delight
To have begun so small.
We now are changing
Not re-arranging
But growing strong and tall.
Our minds abound
With letter and sounds.
We're reading more each day.
So give us room
To grow and bloom
We Kindergartners are
On the way!
