Thanks, Jeremy Kottkamp!

Jeremy Kottkamp of 721X sent in these photographs. The students were participating in a Garden to Cafe event, peeling, slicing and preparing their vegetables.

According to Jeremy K,

“This is our remaining tomato harvest from the fall. They were picked green before the last frost and they are ripening inside our classroom.”

Annmarie Ragucci, our speech teacher at 993Q, reports:

Our students picked two bags of veggies and herbs from the local library (where they have been working). They gave them to me and today we made a lesson out of it. We made a garden salad and put it on our speech delivery cart.

Students worked on initiating, maintaining, and terminating a conversation. They told teachers that the salad was a product of their gardening work all year.

shopping Welcome back to another year of gardening, growing, dirt, worms (but not fried!), and all good things. Let us know what is doing by you this year and we will post your pix on the site.

In the meantime, perhaps you are interested in viewing a cooking demonstration in the White House with the leader of Let’s Move, courtesy of Discovery Education. Wednesday October 29, 2014.

Some of the produce from the garden. We did some cooking. Veggie pizzas with herbs, fresh salad, etc… They are learning to cook simple fresh meals.

Thanks Jeremy
