Today was Fresh Air Friday.
First, we went outside and planted bulbs in the garden beds at the front of the school. The bulbs were northern lights tulip, trumpet daffodils, hollywood nights tulips, sailors delight tulips, and a spring cheer mix. To plant the bulbs we first had to dig a hole 15cm deep. The bulbs will stay dormant in the dirt over the winter and then they will bloom in the spring.
Then we sketched the buckbrush with Mrs. Armour. It is the third plant in our botany study. The buckbrush has little white berries on it that look like little pompoms. These little berries were in clumps. It has a lot of long branches. We noticed lines and lots of leaves on the branches.
Last, we went on a seed hunt with Mrs. Hamby. We walked around the natureground looking for seeds and seed pods. We noticed lots of pocket gopher holes. Some of the seeds were from rosehips, some were from the goldenrod, some were from buckbrush, and some were from wild blue flax. We also found some wild sage.
We had a great day thanks to the volunteers who came to help us. Thank you to Taylor's mom and Leander's grandparents for coming to join us today! Also a big thank you to Ashton's family for donating the bulbs!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
