What We Did Last Thursday

Last Thursday at co-op we had 2 special guests, Patrick Henry and Molly Pitcher.

They shared about their lives, and then we had lunch. We didn't have Bible because our guests coming put us off schedule, but we did have Character and we learned about the character quality of Gratefulness. :-) After that was Science and we put our first plants in the ground! But first, we needed water, so we all worked together to get the job done. xD

Because we needed to put water in the holes before we put the plants in so that they wouldn't go into shock. And we needed to finish filling up the beds.

Since Chris couldn't lift the wheelbarrow the first time and ended up dumping it over(:-o), Mr. Joe had to give him weight lifting lessons... xD

Bethany worked harder than anyone else

(Isn't my little sis adorable??) Luke helped loosen the soil,

and then "Molly Pitcher" came out and gave water to all the hard workers.

Oh, and then we found George(Yeah, I have an obsession with naming things).

Haha, look at his(meaning the toad's) expression in this one!

Next, Luke and Conner brought the water filled cooler to the garden beds,

so we could fill the holes with water, and finally put our first little plant(whose name is Ben) in the ground.

Of course, after the first exciting moment of putting Ben in the ground, it wasn't so much fun and we were all probably glad to go have P.E. class, which was an exciting kickball game, the Squawking Seagulls vs. the Red Raptors. Bethany and Jordan guarded first together for the Red Raptors,

I kicked the ball(hahaha!!)

We all enjoyed using our new bases!

Well, my team(I was captain. xD), the Squawking Seagulls pulled off the win, with the final scores of 13-11(I think). It was such an awesome feeling to tag Chris at third and get that last out. xD Great game, everyone! :-)And I am awarding the MVP award(or whatever) to Madison Strong. :-D GREAT job, Maddie!!!! :-D And so yeah, that's what we did last Thursday! 

Last two weeks at Co-Op gardening class

Gardening Class

Please, bear with me because this is my first update with pics!
Everyone listened very carefully and then took Mr. Joe's orders on what to do.

The boys were given the jobs of moving logs to create more beds. Girls, well we were given the job of just supervising! (Actually taking pictures.) :D The boys worked hard and then everyone pitched in moving shovelfuls of dirt into the newly-laid beds.

Luke and Connor, two boys from LC moved the boxes of worms to and from the shed to be fed. This is Luke. You can always tell by the blue shirt. LOL (Any co-op kid will understand what I mean!)

Our little plants are springing up! The oregano is so sweet looking! Next Thursday we will put our plants in the ground! That will be really exciting! I will keep everyone posted!

Hello, this is Hannah here, letting you know about our exciting kickball game today! Make sure and bring your cameras and be ready to capture those moments as you cheer on your favorite team! Playing today are the St Patrick's Leprechauns and the St Simon's Blue Crabs. Check back here later to see who won! xD

Today at Co-Op

Today in gardening class we made another bed for our garden. These gardens we are making are about thirty-two feet long and four feet wide. Needless to say it took a while to fill the beds. But with hard work and determination.....we got half of it done. Pretty good for kids. You have heard from Maddie about our dear worm friends. We have three buckets of them. Bucket 1- one pound of worms, two pounds of wet newspaper and five pounds of dirt. Pretty heavy! Bucket 2- worm eggs, paper, and dirt. Bucket 3- peat moss, half a pound of worms, newspaper, dirt, and hay. They are all doing very well. Thank you to all our hardworkers. Even our paparazzis who took pictures. -Dianna

So how do you like our new sig? :D

Our Little Plants

Hi

Everyone our little plants are springing up . Soon we will be able to put them in the ground . I cant wait to see my little bell peppers (well they are not mine just I planted them ) grow into big strong adults .

Here is a recent picture of them:

We are growing them inside until it is warm enough to plant them in the garden Meanwhile, we have been preparing the soil.

We are also feeding some worms to help our garden along. Mr. Joe is holding one of our larger friends. ;)

We'll keep you updated! :)

Chickity Doo Doo

Hi Everyone

So far on our garden we just have put down dirt and Chickity Doo Doo.

Odd huh. We have to get the soil tested to see what else we have to put in it. We have plants growing inside already,  but they are just salsa ingredients. We are going to look up more plants that we can grow.

Growing our garden of faith ,

Maddie
