2nd grade Sliders really enjoyed harvesting and shelling beans during Schoolyard Stewards. Slider quote: “Who knew beans could be so BEAUTIFUL!?!” #plotagainsthunger #TuckahoeRocks #outdoorlearning Tuckahoe 2nd Grade Tuckahoe Elementary School Friends of Urban Ag
Look at these little gardeners go! 3rd Grade Schoolyard Stewards harvested tomatoes and green beans today. Everything was donated to local food pantries, but they sure were excited about eating veggies!🥗 #TuckahoeRocks #outdoorlearning Tuckahoe Elementary School Tuckahoe 3rd grade
Why do worms make great friends?🪱Because they are down-to-earth!🤣 They are also incredible composters & soil builders! GreenTeam started a vermicomposting bin this week to discover why worms are our trash reducing allies.#APSGreen #TuckahoeRocks Tuckahoe Elementary School APS Sustainability
3rd graders harvested 16 lbs of Seychelles pole beans for donation. Not only delicious, these beans make outstanding mustaches. #TuckahoeRocks #grow2give #outdoorlearning Ani Arzoomanian Tuckahoe Elementary School Mrs. Levy
