🌱Little Green Thumbs is a learning process. While you're growing, you learn what works and what doesn't. Students learn about patience, responsibility, and growing their own food right in their classrooms! 🥳

Lots of learning has been happening in our Grade 3 Garden. 🪴
Over the Easter break, some of our plants got a little too much water 💧 and then recently our timer got switched and some of our plants got a little burnt from too much light!! ☀️

But- we are learning and moving forward! We have some really successful salad mix and kale, some cucumber and tomato plants started and some herbs that we are looking forward to trying!

We spy with our little eyes, not the island part of our province! 😂 We're taking it as an amazing sign that you can barely see any empty spaces on the Newfoundland part of NL. Way to GROW to all our provincial partners on the amazing work you do throughout the country. We are so proud to be part of this collective that creates more than 2 million student experiences every year! 🥳
