Students carefully pick the green beans.

As you know, we have a wonderful organic garden that our students have grown.  All the fruits and veggies are progressing nicely.  Today, Mrs. Stephanie took the PK students outside to harvest some green beans.

Each of the students used their scissors to cut the beans from the plant.  They were thrilled to see how many beans they had and how big they grew.

There will be more beans harvested in the coming days.  The students also noticed that there were almost 100 tomatoes growing on the vines.

Enjoy the photos below (click on them to enlarge) of their class green bean harvest.  The video below shows the students enjoying their cooked veggies during lunch. There are also new photos below. I was proud of how many of the students tried them at lunch time.

An AFTER picture - a student tends to the canteloupe and tomatoes.

Wow!  What a difference a few days make.  Upon return from our long weekend, our organic garden has grown by leaps and bounds.  I took a group of students outside today to help stake up the tomatoes.  I thought I would share a few before and after photos to highlight the growth.

The students were excited to see silk on the corn, flowers on the tomatoes, and our first yellow squash growing.  More importantly, they expressed anticipation of actually eating all of it.
