Burr Garden
Hello Burr community! Spring has sprung and soon all classrooms will visit the Burr Garden on either May 21, 29, or 30. Once all teachers have signed up for their classroom's specific time in the garden, we will post the schedule. For now, though, please start chatting with your kids about the garden and consider helping out both when your child visits and anytime over the course of those three days. We work hard to match each grade's garden themes to their curriculum - the themes for this year are:
Kindergarten: Rainbow flowers
First: Sun and Moon (getting excited about 2nd grade science topics)
Second: Ghana, Mexico, and China (the countries studied this year)
Third: Three Sisters (dead fish, corn, squash, and beans)
Fourth: "Bigs" & sunflowers (things that grow tall/big like these students will be when they are 5th graders)
Fifth: Graduation (wheat grass in the shape of 2019, their graduation year, flowers, and painted rocks to decorate the garden)
We look forward to working with your children in the garden!
Best, Kim Tulimieri and Marni Goldstein Caputo
