Growing!

It's Friday, and a two day Nor'Easter just blew past Jamestown. The greenhouse, with overcast conditions and rain - only maxed out (temperature wise) at 60. When I arrive at school - the greenhouse reads 40 degrees (7:15 am)

The three classrooms from grade 3, Mrs. Caswell, Mr. Juhnowski / Mr. Juhnowski and my own classroom really enjoyed working outside and in the greenhouse.

I probably needed more actual hands-on components - too much talking about sterile soil, germination really didn't excite.

The actual planting - really showed a completely different side to the students. It was incredible. 

And - today - we have growth!

GERMINATION

Who has a Green Thumb?

WHO HAS A GREEN THUMB???

WE ALL HAVE GREEN THUMBS!!!!!

OUR PLAN IS TO PUT THEM TO GOOD USE...SO...STAY TUNED!!!!

K-1 has a plan up their sleeves.

Tables Are Ready For Seedlings

Interiors

Took 3-1 out for check out the greenhouse space. Measured the length and width of the interior while we were there.

The student plans for the interior layout were very creative. 

I have to scan some of the student work - but I was impressed with the decisions that were being made!

While I was outside - I realized that I probably need to cover the bottom of the greenhouse with a weed blocking fabric. Oops.

Bean Plants - Plastic Fantastic

Tending our hydroponic bean plants.

Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Plastic-Fantastic for getting the greenhouse in shape. (Mrs. Reynolds and Mr. McShane)

End Walls

Here are a few shots of the end walls being constructed. Thank you Ken McShane!

The osprey stopped to check it out. 

Looks good!
