Terrariums
Tomorrow we will be creating Terrariums using 2L pop bottles, small plants and decorative accents. Students have been researching the plants and finding what they need to thrive and survive. They will be taking these plants home tomorrow to care for them. By researching and having a guest speaker this week discussing invasive plants, we have discovered that our plants are mostly tropical plants and are considered invasive (not native). If you choose not to keep your plant or your plant does not survive, please dispose of the plant by taking it to the yard waste recycling depot. Students are very excited about these plants and my hope is they take care of them so they grow and become part of your home.Invasive Plants Presentation
On Monday afternoon, a guest speaker from Ministry of Forests, with a specialty in invasive plants (who happens to be Greta's mom) came into the classroom. She shared many amazing facts on Invasive Plants in our local area. With this knowledge, we are going to be taking action at Peterson Creek Park in making sure the invasive plants do not over take the native plants that thrive there. With Mrs. Schultz help and hopefully having Greta's mom come back, we will be taking a walk down there near the end of May. We may be pulling some of the weeds and invasive plants out, taking pictures and writing down information.
Coming home in the next couple weeks will be pamphlets and information for you and your family on invasive plants in our area. One being an app on how to report an invasive plant, whether growing in your yard or in your area.
