Greenhouse planting!

After we shared our findings for favorite lunch foods we moved on to the next phase of our inquiry project: How do we get healthy foods?

The students brainstormed several options:

- go to a store

-order from a restaurant 

-go to a farm

-plant a garden

We discussed the pros and cons of each option until they agreed that planting a garden would be the easiest and most efficient way to get healthy food. Lucky for us we have a greenhouse, as one of the kiddos pointed out! We took a tour to see what we had to work with for our project. 

The kids were fascinated with what they found! We saw hoses, electrical blinds, tables set up for growing, and tools to plant. They also commented on how warm it was inside and how this would help the plants grow in the winter. 

Our next step was to write a persuasive letter to Mrs. Denny asking her to use the greenhouse. We included reasons and details why the greenhouse was necessary for our project. Mrs. Denny wrote back saying she wants to come talk to us!!
