Playing in the Dirt

“The color of springtime is in the flowers. The color of winter is in the imagination.”

Our area experienced some brutally cold temperatures (even below 0) in February. I was for certain the plants in our garden were doomed…nature can be predictable but it can also be surprising! The peas, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, and Brussel sprouts are STILL flourishing!

Fifth grade is also working on their community service project for the Texarkana Animal Care and Adoption Center. The project has multiple components. These pictures show fifth graders planting grass (in recycled containers) for cat enrichment. Other components of our project include artwork and dog leashes.
