Pumpkin Exploration in First Grade

The first graders in Mrs. Harary and Mrs. Davies' classes explored pumpkins on Friday. They used their senses as well as other scientific tools to make and record their observations.

Getting Started in the Garden

Welcome back to school! We are fortunate to have a lovely garden at Davis consisting of 20 raised beds. Many classrooms have a full bed in which to plant while other classrooms share their bed. If you are interested in planting, take a walk out to the garden (behind our school) and find a class with a garden bed you can work with during the year. Classroom numbers are on the outside of each bed to make it easy to identify who it belongs to.

For planting help, ideas and fun please visit the slideshow below! Happy gardening!

Kids and teachers want to share our garden rules so everyone can help take care of this special place!

                                                                   ～～～～～～～～～

                                                   Always walk in the garden.

                                     Pick only with permission.
                             Garden only in your classroom bed.
                You can sit on the wood frames of the garden beds 
                                            but do not stand.
                                          Use tools carefully.

                                 Weeds go in the compost bin.
                             Do not climb or lean on the fence.
                Plants in this garden are for Davis students only.
                            Birds are living in our bird houses...
                                   please do not disturb them.
