On yesterday, the children and I walked to the garden of one of our primary teachers. We walked through the gym, across the grassy field and into Barbara's garden.

We were delighted with all that we were able to see, touch, and smell! There were several large planter boxes. One was growing vegetables such as corn, another grew flowers such as the zinnia, and another grew a small, but ripe pineapple! There also was an orange tree. (no oranges)

There also were materials and tools for gardening. The children saw real objects that were similar to pictures of our classroom basket of garden language cards. There was a wheel barrel, a composter, a rain barrel, a bird feeder, a bird bath, and more!

Today, we may go again and take a few photos of the garden plants, adding to our collection of language cards!

I will have to remember to thank Barbara!! : ))
