A first look at the garden

Today, we took our first little look at the school garden. There are still many plants ready to harvest, and we will spend more time out there in the coming weeks. Look for a permission slip for eating from the garden that will go home tomorrow.

We also found some unusual insects! Luckly, Ms. Judy (our garden coordinator) was out in the garden, and she could identify what they were. It turns out, they are the larva phase of a ladybug! They eat aphids that eat plants! We took some back to our classroom for the night for a closer look.

Here's a time lapse video of all the bugs.
