Our 2nd graders got their hands a little dirty today—in the best way! 🌱
We planted lettuce in a grow tower that the high school is kindly letting us house in our classroom—such a fun collaboration! With the help of Ms. Mues, our ag teacher, and Kimberly, we were also able to plant our very own seedlings.
Through this activity, we will be learning about plant needs, plant life cycles, and where our food comes from, all while building responsibility as we care for our plants.
We can’t wait to see our hard work grow and turn into something we can harvest and enjoy! 🥬💚
