CAUTION: STUDENT DRIVER! During today's garden lesson, students in Room 106 earned their wheelbarrow licenses after completing a "safe driving" demonstration. Congratulations to Robert, Amanda, Johnny and Ben, who have gained full wheelbarrow privileges...which means they will be moving mulch, plantings and soil when we get down to serious gardening business in the spring and fall. Additional "driving tests" will take place next week to ensure full licensing of the entire class. Today's harvest baskets were filled with ripe tomatoes and basil. Back in the classroom, students used the fresh harvest, along with a bit of crushed garlic, to create a simple, yet delicious tomato basil pizza. The smell of basil and garlic filled the room, then worked its way out the door...enough to raise questions from curious teachers and students in the hallway. Still more tomatoes and basil in the garden...perhaps pasta making is on the menu for next week?
