Onion Harvest

Mr. Hornsby's class has been hard at work in the habitat this year. They planted sweet onion and potato seeds (courtesy of Real School Gardens) in March. Since then they have made several class visits to the habitat to observe, journal, measure, and take note of the changes they saw happening.
Last week it was finally time to harvest their onions. This learning experience has been an excellent opportunity for their class. They have been able to enjoy read alouds about gardening, potatoes, life cycles, and plants.
The habitat lends itself to many cross curricular learning opportunities for our entire school!!
