Making a garden

On Saturday April 11 everyone in fith grade was invited to come to school and help build the garden. So if you were there helping out you would be with your parents and help build the bed and putting in the soil. Today (April 14) we went to the garden and we brought rulers, scissors, and a sharpie. The first thing we did was put the ruler on the inches side and mark the where the twelve, twenty-four, and thirty six is. When we finished marking the lines you got string and you would put tape on it so it would stick. It was a really fun project and it was very cool to help put it together!

Project Impossible By: Suraya O.



In homeroom Miss. Madden told us that she had a bunch of old/dead seeds.  That meant a project (of course).  Anyway Miss. Madden told us to pick one of the seeds from the basket.  So I did. Then she told us to get a paper towel and put the seeds inside.  Then you water the whole paper towel.  After that you fold it.  Then spray water on the paper towel again.  Once you've done that put it in a plastic baggy.  Then hang in up or lay it down and check up on it everyday and water it.  Hopefully your plant will grow back from the dead. Good luck!!

Our Garden!!!

Today, Ms. Madden's 5th grade block 1 math class went out to our new garden.  We measured the 4' by 8' beds and turned them into square foot areas.  To make the square foot squares we marked every foot on each side, and then taped string equally across to the other side. We completed quite a few beds, but we still have some in progress.  We did this so each plant has its own section to grow.  Today, two students planted our first plant which was a strawberry plant.  We transplanted it, and are very excited to see it grow.                         By: Nayeli and Grace
