St. Paul’s Children’s Garden

Lesson Plan from Mrs. Wimer

THE MONTH OF JANUARY:

The children had an opportunity to do a number of gardening chores this past month. We concentrated on picking up the fallen leaves and twigs. The children worked on spelling out "St. Paul's" in the first planting bed with white rocks. They also planted strawberries in between all the letters. We hope to have another fine crop of strawberries like we had last year.

Each classroom was able to pull broccoli, onions or lettuce out of our vegetable garden. They examined the similarities and difference of the plant structure.

Next month we will be planting our "FRIENDSHIP RAINBOW GARDEN" (February 22nd and 23rd). Each classroom will be planting flowers in the color of their individual classrooms. While Mrs. Wimer will be purchasing the plants for the entire school we are asking that your child donate 50¢ to help cover the cost. It is our goal for your son or daughter to complete 1 or 2 chores at home thus earning their own money! A collection jar will be placed right outside the main gate beginning February 5th. This will also tie into our new Values Connection of "Compassion" which begins during the month of February. We will correlate compassion for others to include compassion for the earth!
