Sweet day


Our school year is nearly complete. Above is a photo of the third grade garden that I planted with Mia and her classmates. Since we have had good rain this year, everything is coming along nicely. Their radishes are ready to harvest, they have carrot and peas coming up, as well as zucchini, tomato, basil and marigolds. Vivienne is wearing her crown from her Science Fair event. She worked really hard on a presentation about rocks and minerals. The whole school came through the Kindergarten class to see.



Her class also made a collaborative book based on E.B. White's The Trumpet of the Swan. It was a beautiful creation. Here is one of Vivi's pages...






Now for the sweet part. There are just a few days left of the school year. To celebrate the girls and all the effort and energy they put forth this year, we indulged with cake and frosting at Short Street Cakes. Check out Jodi's delicious blog here.

Sweet day, indeed. The garden looks great, as does the science project. I love looking through class collaborative projects. So fascinating to see the different points of view.

It looks like you too had a wonderful and sweet day too. I look forward to stopping by for this weeks "corner view".

By the way, I used to live outside of Raleigh for a few years and then moved to the Charlotte area, but my favorite part of North Carolina was always in the mountains. Wishing you a happy day!
