The big fall clean up has begun! Students are raking leaves, cleaning out beds of old plants and dead heading the last few cycles of our beautiful marigolds. Our Pingry scarecrow has done its work and has been put away. Soon our garden will be a cold, still, quiet place as it goes to sleep for the winter.

Measuring the Italian zucchini!
This morning, class 1SW went outside and had our first quiet sensory search in the garden. We saw lots of things and were very careful about where we stepped! Before we left the garden, we borrowed a yardstick from Ms. Dugan and measured the zucchini. It was 11 inches long! We were so excited! Then we came back to our classroom and wrote in our garden journals for the very first time. On the next visit, we will use our 5 senses to see what we discover! A special thanks to A. Drovetsky for snapping the picture for us!
