| Mrs. Craig's 4th grade class spent much of the morning in the
gardens preparing for their harvest party. They started out in the
courtyard gardens where they pick broccoli, carrots and tomatoes.
As they pulled the carrots, Granny said, "Smell the carrot leaves.
They smell like carrots!"
Granny showed them how to pull leeks apart. No one had ever tried
them. She said they taste like a mild onion and they've very expensive.
They were surprised at how many vegetables were in the gardens the last
day of October. Even tomatoes!
The part that amazed the kids most was picking apples from the apple
tree. Hardly anyone had ever noticed the apple tree though it is
right in front of the school. They declared these the best apples
they had ever tasted! |
