Out in the Garden

We ended Earth Week by heading out into the Lowell School Helping Hands Community Garden to see what we can find. There are many plants already growing after their long winter sleep. We also found some living things UNDER the soil! After spending a good amount of time digging in the soil, we discovered that we could find earthworms if we dug down deep enough. We will be studying these favorite little creatures in the next few weeks while we wait for our chicken and duck eggs to hatch.
Our afternoon in the garden ended with an impromptu concert from the Lowell school orchestra as they came outside to practice in the sun. Then we came inside and started pumpkin plants for the garden by planting seeds we saved from the pumpkin we harvested and studied last fall. I can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon with my kindergarten friends!
