Farm

When we went to the farm we took the the weeds from out the the ground. We also clean the weeds that came from out of the side walk we also cleaned the pavement. We learned about how different insects us water in order for them to have babies. We learned the different tools used too clean a garden like the hoe and a wheel barrel.

Community Garden/Farm

On Tuesday and Wednesday we went to a community garden/farm on schoolhouse.help dig up weeds, picked up trash, and water the plants. For me I did not like the farm/garden because it was to hot out and there were too many bugs. what I liked about it was that we was hands on and also learned that if we take care of the earth it will take care of us.Another thing I liked about it is that it caused our groups to bond with other groups. Everyone was laughing and having a good time but one thing we all could agree on is that we all was glad to go home after it.

Our week at the community garden / farm

Tuesday :My first day at the garden/farm was kinda hot and boring. At first I didn't like it really because it was hot. And everybody was complaining . But as the day went on things gotta little better.

Wednesday : The next day at the garden / farm was fun . It was still hot but I worked hard. Pulling weeds and watering plants were fun. Working to pass the time by with hard work .
