Getting the Garden Box Ready!

I stopped by school after church to get our garden box cleaned up and ready for planting. I ran into some former students who volunteered to help out! Thank you friends!


Update on the Garden Box

Here is what our garden box looked like today. Exciting!


Beans!

We read this story in class last week called "The Magic Beans." It was a simple version of "Jack and the Beanstalk." A few of the kinders recognized the story when I read it. After we read it we planted a bean in a cup. We added a castle on a straw and viola, we had our own beanstalks ready to grow to the castle like the story!
