Friday in the Garden 11.16.12

Ok, we're back! Enjoy the following by my fabulous Foxes...

What a cool day to be in the garden. The temperature was 58 degrees. We had our math journals and pencils and were ready to learn. First we observed the garden to look at everything new. Fuzzy caterpillars were everywhere! We also saw dying sunflowers which will drop seeds and rotting pumpkins which will help the soil.

Next we turned our math journal to a  fresh clean page and we roamed the garden to spot fractions. We found that a butterfly's wings are in halves because there are two and they are equal. We also saw three baby pumpkins in a group. Each pumpkin was one out of three. We saw the herb wheel and it was in four equal parts. The two paths divided it into fourths. There were many other fractions in the garden too. Then we went back to the stumps and shared what we wrote. 

Last we watered our cabbage and looked at the giant holes where our new trees are going to be planted. We can't wait to see the new trees in the garden!
