Ms. Szatmary's 8th grade students recently finished the book Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman. This is a simple yet beautiful story of community, food, and the power of the natural world. After reading the book, students expressed interest in sharing some vegetables in class. Many of the vegetables in the book were new to students and they were curious to try them! On Friday, they had a vegetable sharing day in literature class, and tried foods like kimchi, edamame, vegetable soup, zucchini muffins, and so much more!

During their plant unit in Mrs.McNeill's class they became expert food scientists! They were lucky enough to plant a variety of seeds, including tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumbers. They even got to plant some flowers; sunflowers, daisies, pansies and forget-me-nots. With the help of their grow light they should have seedlings in no time!! Stay tuned!
