Summer Garden Update

Ramapough Medicinal Garden

Mrs. Flandera spent many hours figuring out what plants were of medicinal use, creating a learning curriculum, and then planting the beds with our new additions! It looks great! Can't wait until everything is nice and filled in!

Kindergarten

Busy as ever, the Kindergarteners experimented creating a rainbow garden. This garden was created by putting food coloring in the water and seeing if the white carnations would change color! It worked! Photo is of Mrs. LaGreca's classroom!

First Grade

First graders nurtured, from seed, squash and bean plants inside their classroom. Just before the end of school, they planted the bean plants. Unfortunately, the squash didn't make it, Wonder what September will bring?

Second Grade

For the second year in a row, the second graders weeded their garden bed and planted sunflowers. By September of last year, they were stunning, greeting everyone who came into school with their cheerful smiles and wide open arms. Hopefully, they will be just a lovely this year. Mother Nature, however, always keeps us on our toes.

Third Grade

Since they already planted peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, earlier this season, the third grade spent June weeding and encouraging the plants to grow. Hopefully, the deer and other animals won't eat them over the summer. Either way, they are looking great so far.

Wishing all our Peter Cooper students a great and bountiful summer!
