Little Green Thumbs

Exciting things are happening in our classroom thanks to the Little Green Thumbs Program.


Little Green Thumbs is offered through Agriculture in the Classroom, an initiative of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture. As part of the program, we will plant and grow an indoor garden while learning about food systems in a fun and interactive way. 

Mr. Downton helped get our special light system ready and today we prepared our soil and planted our seeds. 






Keep watching for updates about our plants.  We'd love to hear from you.  If you have any questions for us be sure to let us know!

A Special Visitor and a Special Project

Four days ago we had a special visitor!  Farmer Susan from Lester's Farm came to help us start our very own Kinder Garden!



It is too cold to put our seeds outside so we will keep them inside until it is summer.



When the seeds grow food we can bring the food home to eat! (Jade)

We planted little tiny cabbage seeds. (Angelina)
We planted lettuce seeds.  The color of the seeds were white.  They were a circle shape. (Anya)





We planted turnip seeds. (Maria)
We put the seeds on the top of the soil. We couldn't put them all the way down because then they would feel like an elephant was sitting on them. We put a blanket over them so that they won't be cold and they would grow.


It is not a real blanket. It was little square stuff.  We are not sure what it is called.  We can't remember so we should ask Farmer Susan. (Eva, Jade, Julia, Noah)



We planted pumpkin seeds. (Corinne)
We dug a little hole.  We put a pumpkin seed inside and filled it back up with dirt and then we watered it. (Nathan)
We have to water all the seeds once a day by squirting five squirts  in a row. (Logan)
Then we will see a sprout. (Lily, Logan, Julianna, Elsa W.)
The root from my pumpkin plant is white. (Matthew)

When the plants are strong enough and are ready we will plant them outside of our classroom in our very own garden.  Gerard's mom and dad have some special helpers that are going to get the ground ready for us to start planting!  Thank you to Gerard's mom and dad and the special helpers!

Thank you as well to Lester's Farm and Farmer Susan who were so kind to help us get our Kinder Garden started!  We are so excited!

Stay tuned for updates!
