We did a great job of building our farm in our classroom, for Drama with Kelli. In the block area we built a barn with farm animals, a chicken coop with nesting boxes and a roost, and a garden. In our garden, our seeds have sprouted. Our hens have been laying eggs. Some of them will be baby chickens and some we will take to the farmer's market to eat.
For real, we planted lettuce seeds in a window box. There was a weed in the box, so Azul weeded it. The window box is in our class window. We can't wait to see the lettuce grow!
Today when we came back to our class from Velda's class, we saw a rabbit's footprints! It took our carrots! When the rabbit came in, we didn't even see it. There was only ONE carrot left in the garden box.
On Monday we're going to a real farmer's market. We're going to get food. Two days after that day, on Wednesday, we're going to a real farm!
See you later!

Now, did the rabbit come in for real or just pretend? I'm just checking, because I have never seen a rabbit in New York City. I bet you will see a lot of them in the Freedom Farm.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will grow a lot of lettuce, so all the families can try some too!
Have fun and work hard!
