Classroom News: Week of February 28th

Dear Barn Swallow Families,

Thank you for donating ingredients today for the Empty Bowls event this Wednesday night! Erin our Out and About coordinator will be purchasing the rest of the ingredients for our soup today after school.

We are still in need of two volunteers for cooking tomorrow, Tuesday, afternoon. We will be leaving school near 12:30 and will be cooking at the UCC until 3:00. Please email me if you are able to join us! We really need your help.

Wednesday night is the Empty Bowls event! We are looking for student volunteers to help serve soup. Would you and your child like to join us? (Students need to be supervised by an adult.)

Thank you Barn Swallow families! Please email me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Sherry

What can you plant at B Street Farm in the fall? -2008

FAVA BEANS! As the leaves were changing colors students used rakes and aeratation tools to prepare a fall bed in the garden. The fava beans, as well as their mulch, will help protect the soil from erosion and compaction over the wet winter season. Because it is a legume, it will also provide nitrogen to the soil. Students found many miniature farmers, worms, as they gently burried the large fava seeds. A garter snake even came by to say hello as the students were planting this fall afternoon.
