Some of the kids thought it was disgusting, some it didn't really bother. We spent a little time this afternoon cleaning out the garden boxes that had vegetables planted in them last spring. The gardens were full of dried plants and roots but also full of rotten tomatoes. This was the final stage of the gardening project as they have seen what it takes to grow something from the beginning to the end. The process will be repeated in the spring. Here is a picture of all the third grades hard at work cleaning the gardens. (Click on the photo to enlarge.)
There is no homework other than reading this weekend. I have asked the kids to have their parents start signing off on their reading minutes. This is by suggestion from the committee that is devising a plan for our district to get back on track in reading. I would really appreciate your cooperation with this. Simply signing the weekly assignment sheet each night lets me know that you agree with the number of minutes they recorded at the top. Please have them write how many minutes they actually read even if it was the standard 15.
