Hello First Grade Families!
It is a short week, but has been one full of exciting new things.
This week Christine brought in a load of dirt and the students worked hard as a team with the 3rd graders and Kindergarteners to get it into our existing planters. Our first phase of the plant drive went well. Thank you to all you families who sponsored a plant! The outside area is already looking so beautiful. The students have been interested in the array of leaf textures and shapes as well as how many forms a flower and it's petals can take. We plan to use these plants in many ways to foster our wonder and interest in the natural word.
The next phase for the project is to get the other planters and arbors built. Carrie, Joey's mum, has written a grant proposal and we are looking for community donations to fund the lumber and other needs. If you know anyone who can help, please send them to me! It has been so amazing to see the families in our class so involved in the school. Thank you so much for your help. I also wanted to send a special thank you to Karri, Keith and Jo who helped to procure the plants needed for the plant drive and to Jo and Bridget for building our glorious arbor. So special!
I will write more about this week's work soon. Thank you to all you generous and helpful families!
Love, Jennifer
