We had our third rooftop gardening class a month or so ago. If we weren't out of town for the rest of the season, I'd set another one up in a heartbeat! P absolutely adored Farmer Annie and her super sweet helpers. And, of course, his classmates! And, of course, the harvesting ;)
Farmer Annie nailed the picking bit for five year olds this time. The simplicity of chewing on kale on the roof could only be improved upon with a craft :) The paper window bags and bunches of markers absolutely thrilled P. He harvested lettuce and radishes and after writing his name (and "heart" Mama) he drew a radish picture and asked that I write "radish." He was soooo pleased.
The "after" part was just as great. P really adored the kids in this class and had a blast on the playground around the corner. Oh, and he knows a *lot* about plant growth cycles now, too ;)
