Just in time to help us with our Earth Day celebration, Theo's French friend, Lucas, spent part of his spring break visiting our school. His first task was to take pictures until my camera ran out of batteries. At some point he handed the camera off to Theo who captured Lucas helping Sergio predig one of 17 holes for our annual Earth Day tree planting.
Most of the class was busy weeding, pruning, and trimming. They have also been working on new landscaping in front of the school, including the renovation of a large rectangular bed.
We are making headway in our battle against invasive weeds. Our toughest foe continues to be Johnson grass.
Typically students wield hand cultivators to scrape back the mulch, loosen the soil with a spading fork, and then attack with weeders.
Nona adds a little style to the garden.
It was a productive day. Thanks for the photography, Lucas!
Merci beaucoup!
What a wonderful sight - students beautifying their school campus. Thank you Mr. Matthews!
