Visiting with a Master Gardener

Mr. Leo 

We learned about different kinds of kale...a popular vegetable today!

What do you think this is?

 Ms. Zina is our amazing cafeteria director.  Together with her husband Leo, they grow amazing fruits and vegetables, raise turkeys and bees, and have so much information about our CO soil. We were so grateful for the opportunity to learn from them.
This spring we will put our learning into practice as we plant some things in the school garden for our Expedition work.
