Baking bread with Wide Awake Bakery!

It was really fun baking bread. I had fun shaping the bread.  It was my first time. I felt calmer after I was baking bread.  I learned that you had to weigh out the bread ingredients.

Square Foot Gardening

Turner

Now I have a my own garden plot and I like it and I think I would like growing plants.

1. It has to be 3+3 with 9 squares.
2. We have to grow foods we love.
3. We have to research companion plants.
4. We have to grow a flower too.

I will grow these plants:

• lavender
• 
  sweet potatoes
• rosemary
• Arugula
• eggplant
• beans
• strawberries

I will grow corn, peas, sunflowers, and pumpkins. They are cute because they are special to me. They give people pumpkins that we won’t have to buy for Halloween. Sunflowers we can bake the sunflower seeds. The peas people could eat, and we could donate some food to homeless people.

If someone likes sunflowers they can have sunflowers and we could all share all of the hoop house and it could be kind of like a family plants, like we are like a family. We all take care of each other’s plants like if someone’s not here, someone else could look after it.

I don’t like being squished in a corner. I would rather have my garden somewhere on the outside where it’s easy to walk around.

I am so happy about having my own garden plot!!! I will grow beets, garlic, kale and geraniums.

Teacher's note: We used these maps to plan out our gardens.




Mari

I will grow corvair spinach, delphinium flowers (magic flowers), yukon gold potatoes and hibiscus flowers in my garden plot.

Kelli

I picked the following to grow: strawberries,Melon,Cucumbers and peas.

I chose these plants because I love all of these foods. I am looking forward to plant these foods because this is going to be the best challenge ever to see how good I can plant on my own. This is going to be so much fun because this one is my responsibility to plan and plant. I am going to be in charge of watering,weeding, and making sure they're still good to eat. I will come back in the summer to harvest.  

Jaiden

I am growing potatoes,broccoli, marigolds, and purple beans. I chose them because they taste so good. I want potatoes for fries.
