Thanks to the training provided by Ryne Anthony of Fluxspace, transplanting our lettuce seedlings to our #hydroponic garden was a breeze! Fork Farms #UDBestDay

Georgia O’Keefe was today’s featured artist. CD II students handmade the stamps for our paintings from leftover packaging material from our #hydroponic farm 😊

To develop a better understanding of how teachers need to meet the needs of diverse learners, Honors CD students adjusted a common lesson plan based on assigned “student profiles.” #futureteachers #FACS

Monet is our artist of the day. We are looking forward to showing all of our #headstart art at this year’s Allied Art Show 🎨

This time next week, we will be ready to harvest 🥬 Upper Dublin HS

CD II students kicked off our labs this week with our second round of data collection. #kindergartenreadiness

Lettuce harvest ✅ We were able to send our MCIU Office of Head Start class home with four heads of lettuce each. Thank you, @UpperDubSuper, Upper Dublin HS, Fork Farms, Fluxspace, Mr. Michener, GIANT in Maple Glen, and all of the students who made this happen!

Thinking warm thoughts as we planted basil and painted sea creatures inspired by the book #swimmy earlier this week 🌿 🐠 ☀️

Many thanks to family law attorneys Mary Doherty, Stephanie Winegrad, and Jordan Gregro for speaking to Child Dev. II students. A very familiar face—former supervisor Jann Maclean—joined us as well! CD II students will take info learned from today’s guest speakers to write skits.

Child Development students were happy to support Maple Glen’s Science Fair last night 🔬

When all your regular farmers are on spring break, you recruit your own kids to check on the farm 🌿 🥬

As an end to our unit on teaching math, Child Dev. I students created path games for their MCIU Office of Head Start buddies.

How lucky are we? Ms. Yang’s talented students treated our MCIU Office of Head Start class to a concert featuring some of our favorite songs! 🎻 🌹 🧊 🌊 🎻

Basil on the left. Lettuce on the right. Harvest around the corner.

Our MCIU Office of Head Start class at UDHS got a sneak peek of their artwork, which is included in this evening’s district-wide art show 🎨

We were too busy having fun last night to take pictures, but we did take a quick video of our art show setup! Each Head Start student had a display, guests could craft or plant, and our #hydroponic farm made its public debut. It was a great night! Fork Farms Fluxspace MCIU

Earlier this week, Honors CD students traveled to FWES to teach 4th grade students about our hydroponic farm. After learning about the farm, 4th graders used basil from the farm to make a basil & garlic infused olive oil.

This basil is out of control! We pulled these beauties from the farm today and found MORE plants hiding!!! 🌿

For our final Office of Head Start lab of the year, Child Dev II students hosted a “carnival” for their MCIU buddies.

Mint, oregano, dill, cilantro, thyme, chives, parsley, and basil all in one farm 🌿
