Friday I am officially planting potatoes. I know I said I was going to do that last week, but I always felt like it was still too early. I have talked with Mrs. Lummus regarding the right time to meet on Friday. She asked if I had enough potatoes for every 4th grader to plant (there are 43 of them), which I don't think I have. My beds are only so big, but I told her that I wanted to plant more onions and brocolli, so hopefully every 4th grader will plant something. This coming week, I will send Mrs. Ledbetter my "Healthy Snack Week" advertisement- the parents need to know about it the next time the Knightly News comes out. Next weekend, I need to look into actually purchasing the snacks in bulk. These are the type of potatoes I bought:
Yukon Gold
Superior
Pontiac
This past week, our senior class watched FoodInc in support of my senior project. I know every time I watch that documentary, I get something new from it and I hope everyone else benefitted from watching it. I know Mrs. Tewkesbury asked to borrow it over the weekend as well as Mrs. Zion. Also, this past week, I sent my research paper to my grandparents who live in Washington state, and they told me they enjoyed it immensely. My grandpa is a doctor and shares the same passion for health as my mom and I do. That's all for now.
The potatoes look great! Hope the planting went well. Regarding the poster contest - if you want kids to do it then I would advertise the prize as soon as possible and make it tasty - maybe free snacks during healthy snack week? I'm sure you can find a sponsor to fund $5-10 worth of snacks for some lucky prize winner... Dr. B
ReplyDeleteI hope your potatoes look as tasty as these. If only you had a picture of rhubarb. Have you planted it yet?
ReplyDeleteI do hope some of the vegetables will be up enough to at least have some good pics for your presentation. You will need to watch the weather forcast to be ready for that last cold blast we usually get before spring is truly here!
