Today is Agriculture day, which means yesterday we did a fun activity with the students to teach them a little about Agriculture. Randy got this great idea off of Pinterest (what did people do before Pinterest?!?!?!)
Each student was asked to bring in a used plastic bottle. They, or their teachers, cut a square in the top of it and Cornelius drilled some holes in the side, for the string, and some holes in the bottom for water drainage. Then Randy gathered the class around the wheelbarrow and got students to shovel in the dirt, remove the rocks and garbage, mix it with the fertilizer (some lovely cow manure from next door) and scoop it into their bottles. Then they made little holes in the dirt and we planted the seeds - melons, peppers, tomotoes, flowers, radishes, onions, so many different varieties! The students loved it and it will be fun to see the little plants come to life.
After their bottles were made Cornelius, Cadeau and Beuger hung them on the wall for the school so when the little seedlings grow we will have a beatiful display of plants, so excited!!
