Rain Rain Go Away
It has rained every Friday in the past 3 weeks. Finally, we got through a Friday morning without rain and my 3rd grade classes were able to go out to the garden. We worked for about 80 minutes and cleared out most of the clover that was growing. We had a terrible time clearing out runners from Bermuda grass last year but apparently we did a good job of it since there was very little to be found growing this year. Besides getting the garden mostly weed free, tons of learning took place. The 3rd graders did a great job working carefully with their tools and clearing their patch of the garden. They worked to spread the different types of soil that they found so there would be a healthy combination. One area seemed to have more clay than the rest, so they worked to spread that around.
