First Visit to the Garden

The Ganon children had our first visit to the early childhood garden on Friday.  Many of the children helped with the planting of the garden in the spring when they were in Peuton.  

The children were thrilled that they got to wear their new boots.

The children discussed the colors and designs of each other's boots .
They found friends that had boots that looked like their boots.

One child commented, "I don't like working (in the garden).  I like wearing boots."

The children picked the cucumbers.

"I have to twist it.  I know how to do it!"

"Look at this cute one." 

"Look! The cucumber is big and bumpy."

"My cucumber looks like a person."

"A pickle or a cumber?"

"It's hard to come off."

The pumpkins are starting to grow.

The peppers will be ready soon.

The children picked some kale to take home.

Each child had a bag of kale and a cucumber to take home.

The children picked some wild flowers. 

The flowers were so tall that Mrs. Levin had to help
 with a lot of the cutting of the flowers.

Showing off our beautiful flowers.

The children discussed the color, size, smell and
other details of their flower with each other.

The flowers were made into bouquets for the children
to take home for their Shabbat tables.

 We are looking forward to many more class adventures in the garden and outdoor classroom.
