Green Thumb Agents

Funded May 9, 2023

My new classroom this year is about to enjoy the Greenhouse as we waited until this week to carve a pumpkin , discover what it looks like inside , and count how many seeds this Heirloom Pumpkin . We made our guesses before the carving took place and now next week we will plant the pumpkin seeds and estimate how many weeks it will take to see our seeds sprout and see a seedling. We weighed it before taking out the seeds and pulp and we weighed it after.

We will place the pulp in the Compost container and see how long it takes to be part of the soil.

As an Art / Science project we will use the leaf relieve to label the veins of a leaf and write its essential need to help the plant or tree to survive before it falls of a plant or tree.

We are starting now and not before because I got sick and still dealing with a foot pain that doctor's are investigating if it is a nerve . The MRI scheduled for 11-6-23 will tell my future therapy and outcome.

As soon as we see our seedlings I will send pictures.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Alvarez-Rodriguez
