We started out
with math. We all did Practice Cycles very diligently. Then we transferred in
to Occupations. Personally, I love Occupations. I am in Andy’s group, which is
the Garden Dreamer’s. Our group imagines the future, new and improved garden.
We look through seed catalogs and think about what plants would do well in the
conditions we live in. But we can’t just look in a catalog and choose the
prettiest plants. We have to make sure that the plant can grow in our region.
We also have to put thought into what we would use the crop for. For instance,
if we planted apricots, we could make jam and sell it at the market.
Today
was also especially exciting because some company came. A few 6th
graders from the Urban Campus came. It was fun to have some other people in our
community to play and laugh with. We went on a photo hike and played on the A-field
with the visitors. I had a great time.
I
enjoyed this day most of all because we got to play and have physical
expression outside. It was a beautiful day today. It was a steady 30°F. It was nice, but the
whole Farm Stay is yearning for snow. I keep looking outside my window hoping
for that first inch.
