Summer vacation has arrived! Actually it has been in effect about a week now. During the past week or so we as teachers have decided to take a small hiatus from work and take a much needed break. We did finally get about seven yards of soil mix dropped on our garden site the last school day. The soil will be moved into berms around the garden to give it some contour and help give it more of a pond-like area in the winter months. Planting will be done mainly in August and September when the children arrive back from vacation. They are the main reason for the garden so any major steps will be made with them at our side.
Moving dirt is not always the most enjoyable experience for children but planting can and will be the most memorable and gratifying for them. Thus the adults will move the dirt make the plans and then bring out the children for the planting celebration/educational day. During this time we will work on making another video and hopefully getting some local news coverage for these days to come. This is also when the ribbon cutting ceremony will take place sow that our garden takes root in our community!
Sounds awsome, I bet the kids can't wait for school to start again!
