6th Grade Chemistry Unit
6th grade students recently used Discovery Garden wheat to create wheat bread baked fresh at school.
Students learned that before yeast was manufactured commercially, women did their baking by mixing flour, salt, sugar, and potato water, and letting yeast cells in the air supply the enzymes!
The wheat bread was donated to a local homeless shelter in our area. Our wonderul cafeteria staff helped us bake over 100 loaves. 
Winter Spinach Harvest
What is that we see?! 2nd graders recently harvested spinach from the garden and munched on it for their class snack this Friday. What a great healthy treat.
Spring Planting After a snowstorm and snow day this week we were able to get some of our seeds in the ground today. Kindergarten was busy planting snap peas today. 6th grade helped plant cabbage. Did you know that our cabbage plants can grow as large as basketball? We are hoping for wet and mild spring so that our seeds will grow well.
