Planting our Front Flower Garden and More

On Monday afternoon, our class went out to the front garden to plant the beautiful flowers generously donated to us by Poitras Greenhouse. We have a beautiful, colourful selection of red, pink, purple and pale yellow petunias, as well as some bright gold marigolds. Look at the before and after pictures below - the students worked so hard to create such a stunning garden!

Our finished garden - WOW!!

On Friday, June 8, 4 wonderful volunteers - Mrs. Kowalchuk, Mrs. Omichinski, Mrs. Leochko, and Mrs.Wielgosh came in to help us sew our own sandwich bags to further reinforce the learning we did in May about the 3Rs - reducing our waste, reusing containers and sandwich bags, and recycling paper, metal, and plastic, and composting. We are all doing a better job of practicing the 3Rs, and LOVE our new sandwich bags - don't you think they are great?
