Mr. MacAuely Comes for PBL :)

Last week Mr. MacAuley came in to help us kick off our Project Based Learning Project! All second grade students voted on what they  wanted to plant in their classroom raised bed and we won Eggplant, which I was very excited about! The other 2nd raised beds will include tomatoes, bell peppers, basil and a surpirse in the last raised bed!  Mr. MacAuley came in and taught us about how to get our Egglant started; we used seed pods, seed and soil to start the process.  To help the Eggplant grow we put the seedpods under our classroom grow light.  We really appreciate Mr. MacAuley coming in to help us with this project.  Mr. MacAuley will be in many more times to help us through two more transplants and to check on the plants. In addition, we would like to send a huge THANK YOU to Claussen’s who continues to support our Project Based Learning project with the donation of seeds, soil, seed pods, their greenhouse and compost -- WOW -- that is a lot of donations!
