On Tuesday, after reading some nonfiction text on the lettuce plant, we met our buddies and traveled to the high school in extremely hot temperatures! We joined Gwen from the Vermont Compost Company to plant lettuce. While at the high school greenhouse, we toured and learned about how students in high school grow and take care of their lettuce as part of their biology class. Students also learned about how the compost we collect at our school gets turned into compost, which turns into soil, which then helps the lettuce grow. The lettuce grown at the high school gets brought to UES to be eaten at lunch! We were so lucky to try many different kids of lettuce and also to plan our own! INQUIRE with your child which type of lettuce was their favorite!
