The grade 4 students and Mrs. Karrie McCurdy have been working really hard at being great gardeners.
Each student got to experience the real job of being a gardener by planting beautiful daffodil bulbs outside in the inner court at the school. They also planted bulbs in a green house container in their classroom. The plants outside are growing fast and some are even blooming beautiful yellow flowers! The inside container is not doing as well. They have plants but no blooms yet.
The Grade 6 class has been working on a project called The Tomatosphere, http://www.tomatosphere.org. They have received two packages of tomato seeds from the International Space Station. One of the packages has been up in space with the astrounauts aboard the ISS for 22 months and the other has stayed on earth. Without knowing which package has been in space they've been labled package T and package V. The Grade 6 class has planted them and are currently observing the growth of both packages of the tomatos.
