Mrs. Kempf had a farm...E-I-E-I-O

Well, we finished the garden yesterday. We had so much fun. It was hard work. The kiddos brought out books, science journals, crayons, pencils, and WATER.

It was HOT!!!

I am so impressed with what they accomplished. 

They are so excited to show this off to the board members and administrators of the school. I am trying to set something up so everyone can come over to see it. Maybe we'll have a grand opening :)

We were thinking that we would sell some produce during the summer at the Farmer's Market in town. Just one day to start out this year. Who knows, maybe it will take off!

I also uploaded my new Schedule Cards with a FARM theme.

Have a wonderful day!

Our School Garden

 We started a school garden last year. 

We didn't get the help over the summer that we needed to maintain it so...

This is what happened this spring.

UGH!!!

Tall enough to play Hide-n-Seek!!!

We had a family donate three hours on a 90*, Sunday afternoon.

Not only did they donate their time, but it was their weed whacker and rototiller.

So generous!!!

We are beginning to plant Friday morning. 

I will keep you posted.

We have the families sign up for one week during the summer. They have to weed and make sure it is watered. They can also harvest anything they want. We do have a three legged deer that has been here for years. I am sure we will be feeding her too!

I can't wait to make some things for the kids in the fall.

So, I will probably be creating more "farm" and "veggies and fruit"etc. products in the next couple months. We are so excited to see what happens!

Have a wonderful day!!!

New Direction

I am trying to get this going in the direction of more teaching and less running stuff. I will have to have another blog on running. I have seen so many other blogs out there that blow my mind. You are so inspiring. I am hoping to get some freebies up for you soon.

My colleague and I are starting a classroom garden. We are hoping to get it to a school garden at some point. The garden is there, we just have to set it up and plant. We are having the FFA members from our high school come over to help us with the whole thing. The kids are so excited. We can't wait to get dirty. I will have to post some pictures later this week.
