"Take care of the land and the land will take care of you."
-H. Bennett
On Monday morning the children, Miss Arigo, and Mrs. Javier visited the garden boxes on Ground Zero to check how our plants are growing.
We noticed that there were three cucumbers ready to be picked from our planters.
The children held them and carefully felt how rough and prickly they were.
One child moved the leaves to check for more that may be hiding underneath.
Another child joined him and watched.
Through this harvesting process, the children learned math as we counted each cucumber. One child said, "One, two cucumbers. Haha!"
He also held it closer to his mouth and said, "Miss Arigo! I eat it? Mmm yum!" Then, he passed it towards Miss Arigo and said, "Arigo's turn!"
This week we will be making a cucumber salad. We will also harvest and add some dill from our herb garden and try them at snack time!
