Le jardin!

Our jardin is coming along very nicely. We now have five green tomatoes, flowers on our peas, and growing herbs. The girls have been very excited to watch the progress of our plants. For any French teachers looking to study the life cycle of a plant with their class, www.growstorygrow.com has a simple story to begin with. You will have to sign up for free trial to see the story but it's worth it.

Herbes de Provence

The VA plant sale is this week and I have asked that each 6th grader chose an herb from "herbes de provence", and bring one to our next class. The 7th grade will be planting lavender. herbes

4th Grade Garden - Le Jardin Update!

Well, it's week three for our petites plantes and things are going very well. They are growing very quickly and we will have to transplant them soon. Yesterday we measured again and continued to work on our plant books in French. Mrs. Bernieri has been working on the plant project in Science class (in French!). This is shaping up to be a wonderful STEM/French project and I can't wait to move the garden outside.
