Preschool Garden

The 3 year old preschoolers in Mrs. Norris’ class adopted a garden plot next to the Pre-K playground.  Colin’s Dad in our T,Th AM class volunteered and used his  green thumb skills to teach and assist with planting Spring bulbs, using various tools and allowing each preschooler to dig, plant and cover each bulb with soil.   After the long winter ahead, we look forward to the rainbow of colors that awaits when these flowers bloom!
