Today was a great day for getting our hands a little dirty and learning outside! Our class partnered up with our Little Buddies to plant spuds in tubs as part of our ongoing learning about sustainability, food systems, and how things grow.

Students worked together to fill their tubs with soil, carefully place the seed potatoes, and cover them up so they have the right conditions to start growing. Along the way, there were lots of conversations about what plants need to survive—soil, water, sunlight, and time—and how growing even a small amount of food can connect us to the land and the environment around us.

It was wonderful to see the older students guiding and encouraging their Little Buddies as they planted. There was lots of teamwork, curiosity, and excitement as everyone imagined what their tubs might look like in a few weeks when the plants begin to sprout.

Over the coming weeks, students will help care for their tubs by watering them and observing the changes as the plants grow. We’re looking forward to tracking the progress and seeing how our potatoes develop!

Thank you to our Little Buddies for being such enthusiastic planting partners today. 🌱
