Today we learned how to harvest and wash lettuce, kale and spinach leaves. Tomorrow those leaves will be served at Dr. Lathan’s lunch meeting. We are so honored that our garden is producing their food! Thank you @Foundation4SPS and @MoPrek!
Today we had a great time reconnecting after our long break by working with partners to plan and build a house for the 3 little pigs. When the Big Bad Wolf came, he was astonished by their strong foundations. Most houses stayed standing. Take that, Mr. Wolf!
I am grateful for this beautiful Thanksgiving table, lovingly decorated by my favorite little people. And this amazing book that allows me to teach them why we do this.
Question: What’s more fun than wandering around in the woods with 17 four and five year olds?
Answer: Nothing!
We touched moss, threw rocks in a stream, and gathered countless treasures for our art projects this week. @MoPrek
Take a look inside this 48 minute long, preschool student-led inquiry called “What pooped on our window?”They made hypotheses, used facts to prove/disprove, recorded thoughts, and researched for more information. All ideas were treated with kindness, even shark.

This year I’ll be tweeting all things preschool in hopes of lightening someone’s load, or providing some inspiration, or maybe just providing some laughs. Week 1 is under our belts!
Salad Party!! 🎉 Today we harvested lettuce and spinach to make salads for snack time at Fulbright. They asked to add kale to the salad too - can’t say no to that! Quote of the day, “This salad is legit!” Thanks for the “legit” garden @Foundation4SPS and @MoPrek.
Today we harvested some kale from our Fulbright Community Garden and used it to make smoothies. Not only did the kids LoVE the smoothies, they also requested extra kale on the side! Growing vegetables grows vegetable lovers! @Foundation4SPS @MoPrek
Nothing cuter than Fulbright kids singing the rest time song to their tucked in plants. ❤️ @Foundation4SPS @MoPrek
The Fulbright Garden got books and a tuck in this afternoon. Fingers crossed the nasty weather headed our way doesn’t zap our babies. @Foundation4SPS @MoPrek
Today’s hypothesis: If babies like to play peekaboo then I think baby plants will like it too! We love our garden @Foundation4SPS
Today was planting day in the Fulbright Community Garden. We had lots of fun digging, watering, and saying kind things to our plants. My favorite... You were a baby but now you’re all grown up and ready for your own dirt. ❤️ Thanks @Foundation4SPS
This afternoon we worked to put the soil in our garden beds. We love spending time with our families after school. We are excited to plant our veggies after Spring Break! @Foundation4SPS
Today we are getting our inside seeds planted. Fulbright kids are labeling, counting, and learning about seeds. Thank you @Foundation4SPS
Dirt delivery day! Can’t wait to see how our garden grows at Fulbright EC. Thank you @Foundation4SPS
The Fulbright Community Garden is being built today. We are so excited. Thank you @Foundation4SPS for this great opportunity to build community and grow vegetables!
