Summer approaches and with it comes the fog and the chills! Cleveland students have been bearing the nippy weather to come outdoors for their last Outdoor Classroom visits before the end of the year.
We have been having celebrations galore complete with all types of tasty treats!
Kindergarten finished up their unit on Living Organisms with some Edible Insects!
1st Grade tasted wood-fired oven pizza while finishing up their Garden Journals to take home and share with their families.
Our 2nd graders made Grouchy Garden Cookies – using their hands to work out some aggression on their homemade cookie dough!
We had quite a feast with 3rd and 4th grade, cooking up Fava Bean Pesto Pasta and a Cleveland favorite – Green Garden Smoothies!
Finally, 5th graders learned how to roll out dough, added their favorite toppings, and watched as their pizzas cooked within minutes inside our awesome oven – which reaches temperatures of over 700 degrees!!
There are mere days left in the school year and as such my time as an Education Outside Corps Member is coming to a close. It has been delightful celebrating my last moments with my garden explorers and food connoisseurs!
A big thank you to the Cleveland Community, all of the wonderful teachers, the incredibly awesome support staff and of course our fearless leader, principal Mark Sanchez!
Go Peacemakers!!
