A Beautiful Day in the Garden!


Hello Families!

Happy Friday!  I hope you have a lovely weekend planned.  I am excited about the possibility of Saturday in, listening to the sound of rain, hopefully.  I wanted to share some of the photos from our field trip (click on them to make them larger!).  The students were very excited on the trip.  Something that the photos cannot convey to you is the intense smells that we were surrounded by, being in the garden on such a beautiful and hot day.

There were many exhibits on different topics, garden design, compost, ground cover, smell and texture, water conservation, and even a Jurassic garden.   It seemed that the students were really proud to be able to read many of the signs and exhibit explanations- they are such readers!  I hope your child will be able to tell you lots about the experience through these photos.

Thank you so much to Carrie, our field trip coordinator, for making the trip possible.  And thank you to all you families for sending in the money so that we could charter the bus.  I really appreciate the connection and respect that the parent chaperons modeled.  Thank you to Jo, Holly, Carrie, Naomi and Amy for making the day a safe and special one!

Have a weekend full of love and happiness!  Love, Jennifer
