Trees are budding, colorful blossoms are popping out of the ground and the temperatures are rising! Spring is definitely in the air and in the fifth grade classroom. Seeds have been planted and will be cared for by the fifth grade students, until they are ready to be transplanted into our school’s garden. So far the class has started two varieties of heirloom tomatoes, sungolds and black cherries. Both are sweet and tasty varieties of cherry tomatoes. Also germinating at the moment is basil. The students are so excited for the plants to be sturdy enough and the weather to be warm enough, to put the plants in the ground. When the students return in the fall they will literally get a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor!
