Barn Swallow Classroom: BIRTHDAY TREATS

If your child would like to bring something to share with the class on his or her birthday, you can send your child's favorite fruit or vegetable. We do not serve cupcakes or sweet snacks for birthdays, but we DO make sure that your child knows he or she is very special!

If your child brings party invitations to school, he or she needs to have one for every child in the class. (If your child passes the invitations to children in other classes, again, we ask that it be to that entire class.) This includes passing out invitations before or after school.

Thank you families!

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.
