Visit from Mrs. Denny

After writing a persuasive letter to Mrs. Denny asking to use the greenhouse, she stopped by for a chat! The kids explained the project they have been working on and told her their plans. Mrs. Denny told us to do more research on what plants we want to grow and make her a shopping list! Woohoo!
